As seen on ITV in the Zoe Ball Book Club; An assassin's bullet. A deadly conspiracy. But who is calling the shots?; `A twisty, action-packed conspiracy thriller. Kent knows how to bring the thrills' -- MASON CROSS, author of the Carter Blake series; When an attempted assassination sparks a chain reaction of explosive events across London, Britain's elite security forces seem powerless to stop the chaos threatening to overwhelm the government.; As the dark and deadly conspiracy unfolds, three strangers find their fates entwined: Joe Dempsey, a deadly military intelligence officer; Sarah Truman, a CNN reporter determined to get her headline; and Michael Devlin, a Belfast-born criminal barrister with a secret past.; As the circle of those they can trust grows ever smaller, Dempsey, Devlin and Truman are forced to work in the shadows, caught in a life-or-death race against the clock, before the terrible plot can consume them all.

Media Reviews
A `Must-have new read for 2018', chosen by the Sunday Express; An Irish Independent `Top Tips for 2018' pick; A compelling combination of political drama and lethal action. There are echoes of Michael Dobbs's House Of Cards but there is more derring-do in Kent's twisty tale, which has all the makings of a best-seller -- DAILY MAIL; ***** An astute, cleverly plotted and scarily plausible conspiracy thriller with plenty of twists - The Daily Express; Let's hear some applause from thriller fans! Yes, a new star has arrived with a humdinger that could keep you up all night. I was hooked from the start. The first chapter drips with cold sweat ... packs a storytelling punch, rather like early Jack Higgins - Peterborough Evening Telegraph; Killer Intent is not only considered but cleverly layered, unpredictable and best of all really great fun to read... My advice: Put it on your must have list for January. - LIZ LOVES BOOKS; A perfectly plotted blockbuster of a book with killer intent -- IMRAN MAHMOOD, author of You Don't Know Me; This is an absolute knockout debut novel from Tony Kent and with more of Devlin and Dempsey promised, I for one can't wait -- Shotsmag
