A full-throttle adventure that twists and turns from the corridors of power to London's gangland underbelly, propelled by a hero with a thirst for vengeance and the skillset to execute it -- Andy McNab
Fast-moving... The Bill meets Jack Reacher' * The Times, Thriller of the Month *
Meet Mickey Bale – London's John Wick. A rocket-propelled grenade of a book, shot through with gallows humour. Guy Ritchie meets Lee Child -- Robyn Young
Mickey Bale is a Jack Reacher for a harder, faster, more assured millennium. Nemesis is the kind of book for which the word 'compelling' was coined -- Manda Scott
Nemesis kicks like a 12-bore shotgun... A British thriller to rival Reacher' -- Giles Kristian
This may be Anthony Riches' first contemporary-set novel but he throws his protagonist into a gladiatorial climax worthy of Ancient Rome * Shots Magazine *
A proper no-nonsense thrill ride that grabs your attention and rewards it with an endorphin rush... Anthony Riches is better known as a writer of historical fiction, I've never read any of his Roman adventures but given the action he gets into a contemporary tale of a London copper with a personal agenda I can only imagine they are full on too. Mickey gets through a lot of work here but he's not done yet – I'll be waiting for part two next year' * NB Magazine *
Nemesis is the prolific Anthony Riches' first move away from historical thrillers into a contemporary setting. Mickey Bale is an excellent protagonist – a man whose job relies on his ability to blend into the background, toe whatever line he's told to follow, and do whatever it takes to keep his principal safe... A tense thriller that was able to grab my attention and keep me reading' * Crime Review *
