About the Book

The Reckoning starts as Mary recovers from a near-fatal knife attack. Ben is convinced that Donald, her ex-lover, is responsible but persuading the authorities is proving impossible - he has no tangible evidence to support his theory. With the help of the English police, Interpol and a sexy undercover police officer in Paris, he continues his reconnaissance and pursuit of Donald, back and forth across the English Channel. One by one, the players are brought in and broken down, but not before they leave a trail of disaster. Underpinning the suspense are tales of romance for Ben and Mary, Katie and Georgina. The interactions of the characters and the storyline result in an exciting, unpredictable, and surprising finale.

About the Author :
Born in Yorkshire and educated in London, Glyn now lives near the Jurassic Coast in the South West of England with his wife, teen-age son and a neurotic border collie. 'Sanctuary' was his debut novel and the sequel entitled 'Repercussions' is also now available.'The Reckoning' is the final part of the Trilogy. Glyn says: "When, during a period of depression, it was suggested by a friend that I should write a book, I didn't think the idea was a very good one. After all, I had been in finance for most of my working life. How could I now become a writer? But I had a go, and found that I loved writing, discovered some lovable characters, and between us 'Sanctuary' took shape. Having finally retired from a life in commerce, he has found the time to write. His stories are directed as much by his mostly lovable characters as by himself.

Review :
"This is the third and final volume of a trilogy. The first two were 'Sanctuary' and then 'Repercussions'. Ben Coverdale sees his love life take a nose dive when the chick he is enamored of leaves him to take up with some dude named Donald. So Ben goes to the Loire Valley in France, and buys an old cottage which he restores and is hoping for a peaceful life. But Mary, the runaway bride, comes to France to tell Ben she has left The Donald, and oh by the way, has a four-month-old boy who is Ben's child. Turns out The Donald is rather a nasty person who arranged for Mary to be killed, but the murder goes awry, Mary is saved, and now Ben is hell-bent-for-leather to find Donald and ... Romantic thriller-lite, surprise ending. Something for everyone. Although called a suspense thriller, I didn't find it all that heavy and dark, which for me is a good thing. It was just enough. The Loire Valley sounds lovely." "A book about revenge, well not really revenge. A save the girlfriend from the evil ex boyfriend story, Could have starred Liam Neeson if made into a movie?" "This is the third of the Ben Coverdale books. Ben's life and romantic interests are entwined with three women, Mary the mother of his child, Alex and their two friends Katie and Georgina. Unfortunately although living in a beautiful part of France they seem unable to escape from Mary's past encounter with Donald. Romantic twists and an involved criminal plot." "From Kimberley South Africa to a gritty part of Paris, then to the contrasting beauty of the the Loire Valley, Smith-Wild steers us on a twisting journey where danger lurks around the corner. The God's seem to be shining on Mary as she has escaped with her life after a contract killer fails to be brutal enough to kill her. The suspect is in custody, but will he squeal on those higher up in the chain, or will he be exterminated first. A missing local girl in Kimberley, a stash of buried blood diamonds, a dead smuggler on a ferry to Harwich and a furniture store razed to the ground in Paris: are all are connected to the illusive 'Bear' or to Donald? It is partly by chance that a sassy undercover cop, Lizzie stumbles upon the key link in the chain, the chain back to Donald and the chain that must lead to his arrest before Mary is killed. An unfolding love triangle between Ben, partner Mary and the infatuated Georgina provides a foil to the insidious activities of Mary's former lover Donald alias Jan Kruger. Mary and Ben prepare to wed, but will Mary's luck hold, or will a twist of fate even crueller that Donald bring about the denouement. A surprising thriller, full of contrasts with lively, buoyant characters and a G-Force pace that will keep you turning pages."
