Excerpt
John
heard the infamous familiar cackles
before Salomon ‘Sal’ Dovos stepped
out of the shadows. What the fuck is he doing in London? Sal moved his long dark
hair away from his face showing his scar. “Why so jumpy mate?”
“Why are you here Sal? I don’t
have time to babysit,” John said. Sal Dovos was the youngest son of Samuel
Dovos Jr., or commonly known as The Second since Samuel Dovos Senior passed
away over thirty years ago. For the people old enough to remember Samuel Dovos
Senior’s reign of terror, as bad as it was, it was child’s play compared to The
Second’s and young Salomon was a pure product of that evil.
“I can see that… so that’s the
Guryev’s whore, nice arse but I prefer her sister,”
he sneered. He looked at John’s gun. “Put that thing away John, you might hurt
someone.”
John put the gun down and back under
his jacket. “I won’t shoot you in the middle of the West End,” he said with a
forced smile. Not without my silencer…
“Stay away from them Sal.”
He shrugged the comment off and
came closer to John. “I don’t know, I’ve heard interesting things about the
Slotin girl and her real mother…
she’s one sexy woman.”
John turned to face him. “Sal, I
won’t shoot you but I would leave you incapacitated
if it means that I get to finish my job in peace.” Sal Dovos was too
unpredictable and sadistic to be left to his own devices. He reminded him a lot
of Miska Guryev, same age, same villainous
behaviours. They even used to be very good friends before the assassination
attempts. “You can have Joseph,” he told him. It was more an order than a
suggestion.
“I’m not here for them John. I’m
here for Vincent.” His expression changed, Sal’s hatred for Vincent was
notorious. “I heard he’s in London. He’s mine,” he said touching his scar.

My Review
Other book from the Semya Slotin Mystery...
There's a reason I keep talking about Semya Slotin: she's one of the most compelling- and fun- characters I've come across in a while. Having never gotten over my desire to be Nancy Drew, a brilliant female super-detective is just my cup of tea (although perhaps wine would be more appropriate).
The Plot Thickens fills in the blanks from Bird Of Prey and clues us into the life of Polliannah Koch Guryev, Semya's business partner, best friend and occasional partner-in-crime. Whereas Semya's haunted by losing her birth mother at a young age and not knowing who her birth father is, Polli lives trying to escape from the long shadow her powerful father and brothers cast. What could be so awful that she'd choose to follow her slightly self-destructive friend into frequent danger? The answer will shock you.
But before we get there we're going to see Polli fall in love with a very dangerous man who isn't anything close to what he appears to be. The reader knows well before Polli that John Allen is dangerous, ruthless and calculating and that she'd do well to steer clear of him. But she's smitten and we can also see why.
Readers of Bird Of Prey will know exactly how their story ends, but we'll be genuinely heartbroken once we get there. Sharp-eyed readers are also going to get a big, huge clue about the question that we've had throughout Semya's tale, and I cannot wait to see how that revelation is going to play out.
Highlighted recommended for fans of romantic suspense and mystery.
