A policeman is killed in a bomb blast, a second is gunned down in his own driveway. The Wicked Game has started.Former SAS and now Royalty protection officer Robert Finlay has had enough of the job’s not-so-glamorous demands and opts to transfer to a local police station. But Fate has plans for Finlay – both of the murdered policemen are former Army colleagues.
Finlay doesn’t see himself as the hero type – just a survivor. A 'Wicked Game', where he is the target, is about to test his skills to the limit.

Not normally a fan of SAS. But this book was fantasticI must confess that I have a bit of a soft spot for a good, fast-paced action thriller. Matt Johnsons Wicked Game delivers on all counts.The book has an unshakeable feeling of authenticity which is woven deep into the fabric of the story, due to the author's first-hand experience as a soldier and Metropolitan Police officer.

Now, I have always loved me a good thriller, a bit of the cat and mouse chase and perhaps a touch of espionage or covert mission/secret service action style plotting. I used to read loads as a teenager, with a particularly soft spot for Tom Clancy novels and good old Jack Ryan. I also loved me a good police procedural. Now I can find plenty of the latter which really float my boat reading wise and I have been a very happy reader of late. I also found Rachel Amphletts Dan Taylor series which has
I absolutely blew through this book. I couldnt put it down. I was immersed in the life of Robert (Bob) Finlay and all that happened to him. The authenticity that Matt Johnsons own life has brought to the novel is obvious from the outset and with the book reading in first person PoV you do feel as though you are living someones life.What I particularly liked about this, and I dont really read many thrillers of this type, is how Finlay is an older male who is settled down with a wife and child and
Wicked Game, by Matt Johnson, is a fast moving thriller containing all the elements which make this genre so compelling whilst avoiding any hint of a formulaic approach. Its protagonist is an ex soldier who served in the SAS before leaving to join the metropolitan police. Despite this background he is not presented as an all action hero. The author has made him accomplished but believable.The story opens in 2001 with a suicide bombing in India. We are then introduced to the protagonist, Robert
Wicked Game is Matt Johnsons debut. Ive had Wicked Game on my TBR pile for a while and when I heard that the second novel in the series was coming out it went straight to the top.Wicked Game introduces Robert Finlay who, at the age of forty eight, is retiring from serving the Royal Family and is returning to uniform policing. He now has is wife and young daughter to think about and wants to spend more time with them. Matt kept me on the edge of my seat and the tension didnt stop until I had
Ive had Wicked Game on my Kindle since it came out, and with the news that book two is on its way, I figured now would be a good time to get this one read. Its been so long since I looked it at that I didnt remember the blurb which always stands in my favour as I know I have no expectations. However, this is an Orenda Books author, so I knew I was in for a treat and I wasnt let down!Wicked Game is a debut, and a very assured one at that. Following Robert Finlay as he leaves Royalty Protection to
