What will you do, when it's you or them? This is the dilemma at the heart of The Defector - can Martin Cormac turn his back on his ruthless past as a dealer, a major city player, and do the right thing? Not when he's looking for answers in a succession of sleazy dives...
One night, Cormac gets caught trying to chat up the bar owner's girlfriend and soon needs rescuing. Unfortunately, his white knight is anything but - Janac's a big-time drug baron with a psychotic urge to test people to the limit, and if possible... over it.
And soon Cormac is running from more than his past, he's running from the most dangerous game he will ever play.
The Defector was a top download in the UK Kindle free eBook chart for over two weeks, subsequently charting in the Top 100 paid list. Along with the sequel, The Wrecking Crew, it's a regular in the Suspense Thriller charts.
This is what people said about the Random House and HarperCollins editions:
The Bookseller
'This is a remarkable thriller - chillingly violent, full of tension and with a very original ending.'
Publishing News
'New British fiction writer Mark Chisnell will have to go a long way to top his debut.'
Bristol Observer
'A fabulous and brilliantly written story.'
Peterborough Evening Telegraph
'This thriller moves at huge pace, mixing philosophical debate with breathless action. The culmination of the game will astound you.'
Trade-a-boat
'Compelling, hard to put down but not for the squeamish or faint-hearted.'
CityMix Auckland
'The novel has an evil storyline, with little relief and with great tension created, particularly around the yacht chase.'
