Product Description
British agent Daniel Swann fled Thailand after murdering the son of the Kingdom's top underworld boss. Now he is back, ordered by his government to recover a small black box from the bottom of the Andaman Sea. Business as usual, he doesn't ask questions. But as his friends are beheaded one by one and he is pursued by CIA agents, Swann realises his mission has become personal. Someone wants him dead. Trying to stay alive on the streets of Bangkok, Swann engages in a deadly game of cat and mouse. When he finally discovers the contents of the black box, he is caught up in a government-level conspiracy. But with his enemy always one step ahead, Swann knows he is being betrayed. So he turns to the only people he can trust-the underworld.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding!, Jan 18 2010
By Handsome Rob - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Death In The Kingdom (Paperback)
I first picked up Andrew Grant's new book Even, and after reading it, I had to buy everything he has written. He writes in a gritty, real way, putting you in the room with his characters. Death in the Kingdom stars British agent Daniel Swann. Swann is one of the most believable characters I've come across in a long time. He's no superhero. He isn't morally superior nor an idealist. He is a guy who does his job, questioning himself along the way. The locations are described in excellent detail without being overly verbose. The writing alternates between the first person (Swann) and the third, which I usually don't care for, but in this case it WORKS! Outstanding! A MUST read for anyone into the spy genre.

No, Sep 29 2010
By Jason - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Death In The Kingdom (Paperback)
I'm not sure where to start. I like the noir style for a change occasionally, it does come across gritty and very real. But...one of the things I look for in a book is some semblance of plausibility, and it's almost to talk about the characters, the style, or anything else since the premise of this is so impossible that I can't get past it. Simply put, almost nothing in this book could possibly ever happen in life. I get it, it's a novel, it wouldn't be a story if it didn't have some fantastic elements to it, but I have to be able to read a story and have some part of me think 'yeah, this could happen'. Never got that in any way from this, from page one forward.
