Defend or Die, Tom Marcus, Pan Macmillan, ISBN: 9781509863631
OUR protagonist is Matt Logan, a daring former M15 officer who now works for a government organisation known only as Blindeye. The main purpose of this dedicated task team is to defend the United Kingdom against any security threats.
His organisation has information that the Kremlin is planning a terror attack in the UK and Logan positions himself, with surveillance equipment, in a house across the road from one of the suspects, a Russian billionaire oligarch who is well protected by bodyguards.
When Logan discovers a corpse of a young girl in the surveillance house, we are treated to a bit of comedy when he names the girl Daisy and discusses events with her.
Logan is still recovering from the trauma of the murder of his wife and son, yet he has the strength of character to enter dangerous situations to defend his country, or die trying.
