Sam Bourne Bundle

The first three blisteringly compelling Sam Bourne thrillers, available together in ebook format for the first time. In Bourne’s first novel, we see a serial killer thriller combined with a delicious religious conspiracy theory, when a pimp is found dead in a rough New York neighbourhood. A far-right extremist is fatally shot at his remote log cabin outside Seattle. An eighteen-year-old computer hacker is murdered on his way home from a call centre in India. One thing unites these victims. All had, at some point in their largely wasted and grubby lives, performed an act of exceptional goodness. Someone is murdering good people. Why? For rookie journalist Will Monroe, this is the launch pad for a glittering career. But then his wife Beth is kidnapped, and the riddle becomes personal. In The Last Testament, meanwhile, as the Baghdad Museum of Antiquities is looted, a teenage Iraqi boy finds an ancient clay tablet in a long-forgotten vault. He takes it and runs off into the night … Years later, at a peace rally in Jerusalem, the Israeli prime minister is about to sign a historic deal with the Palestinians. A man approaches from the crowd and seems to reach for a gun – bodyguards shoot him dead. In his hand was a note, one he wanted to hand to the prime minister. The shooting sparks a series of tit-for-tat killings which could derail the peace accord… In The Final Reckoning, Tom Byrne has fallen from grace since his days as an idealistic young lawyer in New York. Now he'll work for anyone – as long as the money's right. So when the United Nations call him in to do their dirty work, he accepts the job without hesitation. A suspected suicide bomber shot by UN security staff has turned out to be a harmless old man: Tom must placate the family and limit their claims for compensation. In London, Tom learns that the dead man was not quite the innocent he seemed, unravelling details of a unique, hidden brotherhood, united in a mission that has spanned the world and caused hundreds of unexplained deaths.
