Killing Tomorrow

Autor Peter Hill
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Who would deliberately set out to precipitate a global pandemic and why? The first book in the series 'Evolution's Path', is an international terrorist thriller, set in the near-future, with a fast-moving story line that alternates between Britain, America, Pakistan and New Zealand. ISIS struggles on, Al Qaeda has been reborn and in this dangerously overpopulated world the war on terror continues, ever more vicious and amoral. In the outer reaches of the CIA, where Don Costello operates, and the inner sanctum of MI5, where Wenna Cavendish is head of the Eastern Desk, conflicting plans are put into operation. Meanwhile, the lives of two disparate couples, high-profile journalist Fleur Nichols and her American lover, documentary filmmaker Joe Kendry; and microbiologist Dr. Simone Gofre and her doting partner Auriol, become inextricably linked. At first all they have in common is a powerful and self-absorbed devotion-but... When the worlds of the lovers, the terrorists and the Security Services collide, potent emotional bonds are shattered and the effect on their lives and our world is catastrophic. Peter Hill has recently returned to novel writing after a successful career as a writer and script editor for many famous TV drama series both in the UK and New Zealand where he now lives. He is the author of the internationally published British police detective books 'The Staunton and Wyndsor Series' and 'The Commander Allan Dice Books' books written in the 1970s and now available as eBooks. Now writing in a different genre of near and far-future fiction, 'Killing Tomorrow', Peter's new novel, is alarmingly prescient and relevant to circumstances in today's world. PRESS COMMENT ON PETER HILL'S PREVIOUS BOOKS 'This is a taut, handsome job, beautifully written, full of real characters and acute observations.' The New York Times 'A really first-class who-dunnit' Essex Chronicle 'Exceptionally well told, with satisfying outcome.' Columbus Sunday Dispatch 'Lies, gossip and jealousy fail to deter two of Scotland Yard's finest in this entertaining mystery with an extra twist or two... or three.' Pittsburgh Press 'Peter Hill does a fine job with character, plot, atmosphere and suspense.' Publishers Weekly '... a pair of attractive investigators-the young and aristocratic Leo Wyndsor and the slow-moving but smart veteran Bob Staunton. The case takes them to Cornwall, where a man has been murdered and hung on an old gibbet... All this is very agreeable, especially in Mr. Hill's smooth and often sympathetic telling.' New York Times 'I'd like to see Messrs. Staunton and Wyndsor in more books. They're a lot of fun-and they're good detectives.' Daily Press, Newport News, Virginia 'Bizarre murder and a full, meaty, thoroughly absorbing account of the investigation...' The Times '... an acute professionalism. What is even better, it has the holding qualities of a rock-loving limpet.' The Bookseller 'Zippy, intricate Chinese puzzle laid out with high laconic skill...' The Sunday Times 'Peter Hill does a fine job with character, plot, atmosphere and suspense.' Publishers Weekly (US) 'A tremendous piece of fast-moving fiction. Not one word wasted, the story starts and ends with a bang.' Coventry Evening Telegraph 'A lively example of the permissive roman policier.' The Observer 'Taut, sharp, fast-moving.' Manchester Evening News 'To follow... the brilliantly inspired tracking of Hill's two detectives is a joy, apart from the brain-teasing pleasure of accepting the author's challenge to identify the murderer.' London Evening News 'Peter Hill has done it again-a fast-moving, action-packed thriller involving the secret service, the police and underworld criminals.' Coventry Evening Telegraph 'A really good thriller writer. Very clever at the way he measures out clues... Written in staccato sentences, each a drum tap tautening the tension.' The Daily Telegraph ________________________________________
