Hannibal Whitman returns in the third instalment of Rod
Glenn’s serial-killer thriller series.
The world thinks Whitman is dead but he has been secretly
rescued, rehabilitated and trained by a secretive organisation known as The
Troy Consortium. Their purpose is to eliminate any form of threat to Great Britain
that the courts can’t deal with.
Whitman, his appearance altered, is soon set up with a new
identity, but it isn’t long until the consortium hand him his first murderous
assignment.
Things work well for a while and despite Han’s longing for
certain elements of his previous life he begins to settle into his new persona,
and excels in his work for the consortium.
Events take a surprising turn when the powers-that-be decide
to get rid of all of their “assets” leaving Han and his new-found allies no
option but to fight back.
Following some spectacularly violent action scenes, which
have become the hallmark of this series, we find ourselves back in the setting
for the first Sinema novel, Haydon.
Haydon is now a ghost town of Whitman’s making which is
haunted by the spirits of former friends that became victims in the notorious
“experiment”.
The reformation of a diabolical character continues here as
this time out we are firmly behind Whitman, especially when a feared adversary
threatens his former lover.
Sinema 3 is a continuation of the previous books and won’t
work if you haven’t read the others, but if you’re a fan of serial-killer
stories that aren't predictable whodunits then do yourself a favour and read
this fantastic trilogy.
