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.

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.

Outstanding. Probably the BEST book I have ever read. Severed was very good and Target also excellent but I think this was better than both. I am not an avid fast reader but I finished this in two days. Have already started Murder exchange.

I never knew a book could be so gripping. I was never a big reader of books until now!..I picked "Relentless" up by chance and after reading the first page I was completely hooked. I could't put it down! This book has got me hooked and I can't wait to get my hands on any of the books written by Simon..No more boring long flights for me...Just sit down, open the page and lose myself in the fabulous storylines. Blinding!

this is definately the best book i have ever read. The title could not be better suited to the book. The range of ways the author has written the characters thoughts, feelings and scences are extraordinary. 5 STARS. UNBELIEVABLE.

WOW.....
I have read the book twice now, my wife bought me the book for a summer hol read in 2008, I got so hooked, I have now worked my way through The business of dying and a good day to die!! Relentless was a stunning read, I have just read it for the 2nd time over a year later and found it equally gripping.
I have just ordered the other titles I am yet to read and cant wait to read them.
Simon Kernick is quite clearly one of the most exciting authors to have hit the scene in years!!!!!!!
