Bait by Nick Brownlee

Bait

Nick Brownlee

A great first thriller set in modern Kenya with appealing heroes, lots of action, a gripping plot and a real surprise ending. I hope this is the first of many outings for Daniel Jouma and Jake Moore.

Extract
Up ahead the pilot of the second boat stared wide-eyed as the Fountain headed towards him on a direct collision course. As the two boats reached the moment of impact, he swerved his vessel to the left, just as the gunman behind him drew a bead on Jake's head with the Uzi. The gunman was sent reeling backwards and Jake heard a ripping sound as the weapon spat out its magazine of bullets.
