Additional text
'It's so nice to get out of the cliched crime fiction cities of London, New York and LA once in awhile. Former cop Mike Thomas served in some of Cardiff's toughest neighbourhoods for 20 years, and here he's writing about what he knows. First, a bomb goes off in a busy souk, then another one tears into a mosque. But this isn't Tripoli or Baghdad. It's Cardiff and DC Will MacReady is raring to go on the case. Is this to be his first big investigation, or is he going to be sidelined to work on a knife attack instead?'
