  A game of spies, a brutal murder, and the fate of an empire collide in a gripping historical crime thriller from the author of No Ordinary Killing.
 
The North Sea, October 1904—When Russian warships bombard the Hull trawler fleet, killing innocent fishermen, public outrage pushes Britain and Russia to the brink of war, the sparks from which could inflame the entire continent.
 
Doctor Ingo Finch, once of the Royal Army Medical Corps, is long done with military adventuring. But when a stranger seeks him out, citing a murderous conspiracy behind the infamous “Dogger Bank Incident,” Finch is drawn back into the dark world of espionage.
 
With Whitehall, Saint Petersburg and rival Bolsheviks vying to manipulate the political crisis, the future of Britain, and Europe, is at stake . . .
 
Praise for Jeff Dawson and No Ordinary Killing
 
“Combines deft storytelling with a flair for historical detail.” —Richard Foreman
 
“Dawson has produced a strong thriller with something to say . . . An intriguing mix of John Buchan style adventuring and well researched period detail, full of superstition, mistrust, and political intrigue . . . A very strong debut.” —Sarah Ward, author of The Birthday Girl
 
“Jeff is such a talented writer . . . I highly, highly recommend these.” —Making the Cutwith Davina McCall & Michael Douglas

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn’t put this down

I couldn’t put this book down once I started. Following Ingo Finch return to England and reconnecting with Annie made compelling reading. A story of historical context, romance, corruption and good old villains mean that you are constantly entertained with no real idea where it will all end. What I also like is that you could read this book without having read the first. I hope we get to read more about Finch.

3.0 out of 5 stars No more for me

The first in the series was just about ok, albeit a terrible rushed and unfinished ending.
This one was just about ok again, but I cannot continue to read his dialogue constructs:
- 'Said Finch "bla bla" ' it's awful.

The story is fully OTT in way he gets beaten & battered at every turn, he would be in a wheel chair even if 50% of the events happened. Whilst an action novel should have, well, lots of action. it makes it totally unbelievable.

I also don't understand why so many thriller writers have to make the hero a drunk, it's annoying. (Although he may have sobered him for following books.) He should also fix his knee, this would make it more believable for him to get out of all scrapes.

The ending was more rounded this time, although a key figure was "just gone" again. And you have to ask what this figure was actually doing in the book, it contributed nothing.

I will not continue with the series, but good luck to all those who will.

The first Ingo Finch novel ‘No Ordinary Killing’ started off as a very pedestrian affair. Nonetheless I liked it enough to move on to Finch’ second outing. This was a much improved novel with plenty of pace, believable characters and a credible plot.

I look forward to Finch and Annie reunited in the third episode and to Annie ditching her odious husband.
