They want you. And they want you dead.
John Meron, a happily married father of two who's never been in trouble, receives a phone call that will change his life for ever: his friend Jack Calley, a high-flying City lawyer, is screaming down the phone for help. As Meron listens, Calley is murdered. His last words, spoken to his killer, are the first two lines of Meron's address.
Confused and terrified, Meron scoops up his children and hurries out of the house. Just in time. Within minutes, a car pulls up outside, and three men get out. It’s clear that they're coming for him. He's being hunted and has no idea why.
And with his wife missing, an unidentified corpse in her office, and the police after him for murder, his life's about to get one hell of a lot worse.

This book happened to be on the shelf of the holiday cottage we stayed in. I picked it up by chance one rainy day, and i couldn't put it down. It certainly lives up to its title, the best book i've read for a long long time - highlight of the holiday.

This is certainly one of the best books I have read. Right from the first paragraph it has you gripped to your seat and wanting you to carry on reading. I am a big Stephen King fan and now also Simon Kernick as I will be purchasing the rest of his works.

I read this book when it was part of Richard and Judy's summer book club. I absolutely loved it. I believe, if you read just 1 Kernick book, you will want them all. I'm glad to have picked up Relentless in the first place. It was definitely the hardest to put down. AMAZING!

I thought the wife could be scary until I read Relentless. It was a real roller-coaster of a thriller which helped me get through some of thes miserable winter days. It's his first I've read but I vow to read the rest soon.

Absolutely superb read.
Many claim to be 'page turners' 'can't put down' reads but Relentless is without doubt the Best British Crime Novel.
Simply superb.
