Just got this among the Independent's Best 50 Summer reads........
Last Chance to Die - Noah Boyd
"Second novel to feature Steve Vail, a kind of Jack Reacher 2.0 - Just as pacy - if occasionally preposterous - as it's predecessor" ( "The Bricklayer" ) Don't know any more I'm afraid.
I do like the Reacher stuff, but got to be in the right frame of mind....
ie simplistic and nihilistic.
