JOHN PURKISS, THE RATCATCHER, RETURNS IN BOOK 2 OF THE ACCLAIMED SPY MYSTERY THRILLER SERIES...



Purkiss’s job is to track down rogue elements within British intelligence. Summoned to Amsterdam to investigate a cryptic message about one such agent, Darius Pope, Purkiss quickly discovers he’s facing an opponent of unusual ingenuity – and capable of extreme violence. Within hours Pope has disappeared, and two CIA agents are dead.

In Virginia, a young musician, Nina Ramirez, finds herself haunted by watchers, men who seem to be stalking her at every turn. Are the watchers genuine, or products of her increasingly troubled mind?

As the body count rises, Purkiss pursues Pope to the eastern United States, striving to stop him while avoiding a potentially disastrous political confrontation between the CIA and British Intelligence. But Purkiss is faced with two questions. Why is Pope systematically murdering CIA agents? And who will be next?

With assistance from an unexpected source, Purkiss discovers he’s in a race against time before Pope’s and Nina’s destinies converge in New York City. Something he’ll be able to prevent only by uncovering the secret of a monstrous, fifteen-year-old Honduran operation known as Caliban…

Darker, harder-edged and more terrifying than Ratcatcher, Delivering Caliban confronts John Purkiss in ways – physically, emotionally, and morally – he’s never yet experienced.

5,0 su 5 stelle A complicated plot - but well recommended
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 20 novembre 2016

This book was so complicated that I almost wanted to start at the beginning again when
I'd finished it! You certainly do not want to read this when you are tired as there are so many
twists and turns to keep track of.

Purkiss is hunting down Darius Pope - a British "spook" gone bad and who has killed 2 CIA agents.
However, were they "goodies" or "baddies"? The action goes from Amsterdam to Germany and then
the USA.

Along the way you learn why Pope has embarked on his killing spree. The plot is complicated
further by a young violinist, Nina, who is paranoid about being watched - or is she really in danger?

The action, as with all of Tim Stevens' books, was fast-paced without any padding, romance or sex.
A recommended thriller.

5,0 su 5 stelle The spy police is here to stay with John Purkiss
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 2 luglio 2013

Stevens is a great weaver of stories.In the second John Purkiss novel he starts by narrating unconnected stories each of which is a quality thriller on its own.Then ,like the master craftsman that he is, weaves these stories one into the other and a first class thriller is born which is even better than its component stories.
John Purkiss the new hero is evolving to become an archetype character of spy thrillers like George Smiley of Le Carre or Harry Palmer and Bernard Samson of Len Deighton.He is a loner like Reacher of Lee Child but fully integrated into Society and with a Mission,essentially a very skilled operative and a decent person,who left the official S.I.S to work from the margins against agents gone rogue.
The basis of the Purkiss novels is the concept that in a Service they trains its employees to deceive,spy,steal and subvert,some may use these skills against the interests of the Service or for personal gain.Hence the need of policing the spies by a spy who is better than most.
John Purkiss as created by the author fits the role perfectly and plausibly.The plot is both original and sophisticated.As it is described elsewhere in this page,all I write is that it is very well thought out with unexpected reversals and emerging situations that keep the tension high throughout the book with an exciting finale.A sign of its quality is that the author uses violent scenes only when required and justified by the story,basing the thrills mainly in his fine narrative talent
The characters are adequately sketched ,the prose is of high quality and the dialogues fit.
Like all virtuosos that their every performance is better than the previous one,this novel is better than the first that was already very good.This innovative thinking man's thriller will become a Classic because it created a genre of its own.
Waiting for the next one

Another Great Purkiss Twister with enough action, emotion, danger, revenge and retribution to make even Ian Fleming look tame. The twists in this tale work really well. A very good read that I had to finish in one sitting. Un-put-downable!

Delivering Caliban is the second novel to feature John Purkiss, the "ratcatcher" who has to clean up where the espionage business has become even dirtier than it should be. It is rather more of a straightforward find-and-chase story than its predecessor, setting Purkiss on the track of one Darius Pope - a young ex-agent behind whose career of bland competence lurks something altogether darker and deadlier. CIA personnel are being shot and thrown out of windows, a schizophrenic musician discovers the truth of the adage that even paranoiacs can be spied on, and Purkiss and his colleagues are led to some unpleasant facts about certain dubious experiments with an interrogation enhancer of the pharmaceutical variety. As always with Stevens' work, the story is tightly plotted and told with an economy that would put most bestsellers to shame, if they had any. Unlike Ratcatcher, none of the main characters is entirely unsympathetic; and although the story has little time for psychologising, the musician in particular is drawn with commendable delicacy. Whatever the supervillain potential of his name and eidetic power, Darius Pope has his reasons; and even Pope's enemy, the cause of all the trouble, is far from irredeemable despite his many crimes. One might wish that these characters' complexities were explored a bit further - although Purkiss, at the end, gives a more or less acceptable excuse for not doing so - but on its own terms Delivering Caliban most definitely delivers.
