Review: The Englishman by David Gilman

Events and conflict on the border of Mali and Algeria connect to a brutal kidnapping in London. A London police officer sends one of his team to track down an elusive ex-French Foreign legionnaire in the middle of nowhere.

All of these events have connections delicate as spider webs, with one man in the middle connecting them. And Dan Raglan needs to find him, fast.

The Englishman is part thriller, part action, part mystery ‘whodunnit’ in equal measures. The action is well-paced, the plot well crafted, and satisfying as a popcorn-page-turner: From deserts in Africa to back-ends of London, to the freezing middle of nowhere Russia, Dan Raglan faces his fears and his foes, never doubting he will succeed but mindful of the cost along the way.

If you’re a fan of Bourne-like action stories, then The Englishman will definitely be worth a read.
