Synopsis

A kinetic standalone from "first class storyteller" Michael Robotham (San Francisco Chronicle).

Sami Macbeth is not a master criminal. He's not even a minor one. He's not a jewel thief. He's not a safe-cracker. He's not an expert in explosives. Sami plays guitar and wants to be a rock god but keeps getting sidetracked by unforeseen circumstances.

Fifty-four hours ago Sami was released from prison. Thirty-six hours ago he slept with the woman of his dreams at the Savoy. An hour ago his train blew up. Now he's carrying a rucksack through London's West End and has turned himself into the most wanted terrorist in the country.

Fast, funny, hip and violent, Bombproof is a non-stop adventure full of unforgettable characters and a heartwarming hero -- Sami Macbeth -- a man with the uncanny ability to turn a desperate situation into a hopeless one.

This is the second standalone book from this author although Vincent Ruiz’s appears in the book as a retired Detective Inspector. A very easy read with quick chapters coming fast and furious.

A great book with great characters. Despite reading a few of the books out of order – this being one of his earlier works – Robotham hasn't disappointed me yet.......more

Goodreads review by Sharon on December 31, 2020

Bombproof by Australian writer Michael Robotham is another eventful, gritty and intriguing reading. I have enjoyed all of this author's books, including this one, but I have to admit it wasn't one of my favorites and I don't really know why. However, saying that I think it is worth reading, and the......more
