About the Book

"Terrific...highly recommended." LEE CHILD. "...more twists than a pretzel. ...a gritty, action-packed, page-turner." ANDY MCNAB. "High-octane...Great debut." SUNDAY TIMES CRIME CLUB. The bullet in his brain isn't the problem. She is. Michael North is a hero, with a bullet in the brain to prove it. A bullet which has rewired his neural pathways and heightened his sense of intuition. A bullet which is driving him mad. Working for an extra-governmental agency called The Board, North knows one thing for sure. He is very good at killing very bad guys. But what happens when a hero is ordered to kill a good woman rather than a bad man? Because it turns out that rising political star, Honor Jones, MP, can't stop asking the right questions about the wrong people. He should follow orders. Shouldn't he? "...fast-paced, packed with action, and introduces a series hero to watch." MICK HERRON

About the Author :
Judith O'Reilly is the author of Wife in the North and A Year of Doing Good (both published by Viking Penguin, 2008 and 2013 respectively). Wife in the North reached number three in the UK bestsellers' chart and was in the top ten for five weeks. It was also a top ten bestseller in Germany. It sold into ten countries, was serialised by The Sunday Times and the Daily Telegraph, was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week, and was based on Judith's eponymous blog which was named as one of the top 100 blogs in the world by The Sunday Times. Judith's blog is credited with kicking off the popularity of domestic blogging in the UK. Wife in the North and A Year of Doing Good were both non-fiction. Killing State is a commercial political thriller and Judith's first novel. At least the first one she's allowed to leave the house without her. Judith is a former political producer with BBC 2's Newsnight and ITN's Channel 4 News, and a former education correspondent with The Sunday Times where she also covered politics, undercover reporting and general news. She still writes for The Sunday Times, and has acted as a strategic communications adviser for both government and business.

Review :
"A terrific future-shock thriller full of pace, tension, character and emotion. Highly recommended - but keep your phone close by with a trusted friend on speed dial." LEE CHILD. "Killing State is a psychological thriller with more twists than a pretzel. The author's first novel is a gritty, action-packed page-turner." ANDY MCNAB (author, Bravo Two Zero/Line of Fire). "A worryingly plausible portrait of Britain in the near-future, Judith O'Reilly's debut novel is fast-paced, packed with action, and introduces a series hero to watch." MICK HERRON (author, Slow Horses/Spook Street). "New thriller writers come and go. I suspect this lady will stick around." FREDERICK FORSYTH (author, The Day of the Jackal/The Odessa File). "Grabs you from page one and won't let you go. What a brilliant debut from Judith O'Reilly - reading it is like watching an action movie. Action-packed from start to finish - but with tenderness and great characterisation too. Fast, sharply-written, clever and intense." JEREMY VINE (BBC Radio 2) "A superb political thriller written with aplomb...Former soldier, Michael North is a terrific creation - a hitman with a bullet already lodged in his brain with no time to waste. This is page-turning stuff and Killing State is a story you will keep reading right till the end." HOWARD LINSKEY (author, The Search and The Drop). "This is that rarest of thrillers - a twist-filled, action-packed page-turner that has stacks to say about contemporary Britain. Intrigue, murder, politics and terrorism - O'Reilly brings it all together in this explosive story. In Michael North we might just have met the nation's new favourite all-action hero with a heart." T.R.RICHMOND (author, What She Left). "Killing State chronicles anti-hero Michael North's desperate struggle to absolve his sins against an all-too-real conspiracy. In a Dexter meets House of Cards battle, this gritty thriller will appeal to readers with a sophisticated palate for political intrigue." K.J.HOWE (author, The Freedom Broker). "Gripping and twisty." INDIA KNIGHT (Sunday Times Magazine).
