After an ear splitting scream which nearly causes a woman to crash her car, a dead body is soon found nearby. As the dead body was someone who the police were very keen to bring in Patrick Dawlish of the Crime Haters, some kind of multi-national elite police unit, is bought in. It appears the man was killed by sound.
A plot involving a mysterious group in an old monastery, a plan to forge British currency and a sound weapon that can kill hundreds is gradually revealed. All pretty entertaining and pulpy it is too, though some of the twists near the end seem to come really out of nowhere.
A lean and undemanding read and this i don't mind, the book gets to the point without endless chapters of padding. It is perfectly acceptable if unexceptional. However, if you didn't like it you can always try one of the author's six hundred other books!
