Did someone try to kill me or am I going mad?

When writer Rob Fallon gets drunk one night and ends up joining his best-friend's girlfriend, Jenny, in her apartment in London's West End, he's feeling guilty before anything's even happened. But guilt quickly turns to shock when two men break into the apartment, abduct Jenny, and try to kill Rob.


But when Rob reports the abduction to the police no one believes him. Jenny's father claims she's on holiday abroad, her apartment appears untouched, and the doorman didn't see or hear anything.


Rob can't let things lie - not with Jenny's life in danger. But when he starts asking questions, he finds himself the target of killers . But what is it they're so desperate to hide? And what does it have to do with an ordinary girl like Jenny? Either Rob finds out, or he's dead. It's that simple ...

This is the first book I have read from Simon and words cant explain how much I enjoyed it, I have even recommended it to a friend. I am now "hooked" and I am now waiting for my confirmation of the other one I have just purchased.

I've never preferred reading to watching TV until your books Simon! I just couldn't put Relentless and Deadline down. Onto Severed now and i'm loving every bit of it! Keep up the good work!

1st book of yours I've read. picked it up to take on holiday at airport. fantastic reading! fast paced, exciting, full of twists and turns. was one thing I didn't like but won't spoil it for other readers by stating it here. now reading relentless and it is just as good if not better than target

Haven't read Target yet as I cant get hold of a copy in New Zealand! I have read all Simons books and love the characters. Are you going to bring back Denis Milne? I gave 5* as im sure it will be a great like your others.

Perfect! Pre-ordered this book from Amazon and tore the packaging off eagerly. Absolutely addictive and brilliantly written. I agree with Andrew aswell, wehn are we going to see a film or tv series?! Relentless, Severed and this book would make great candidates!
