Could a video game convince you to take someone's life?
Saul Marshall arrives in Atlanta in the wake of a shocking incident: a cop with a pristine record has inexplicably massacred peaceful protesters occupying the iconic CNN Center. But Saul, exhausted from months on the run from the law, fails to put up his guard.
But when he is visited in the dead of night by a street gang, deploying extreme and seemingly unprovoked violence, Saul is forced to either get his guard up, or perish. And when he discovers that this same gang has already targeted two of his team-mates from his days serving in the FBI's elite Hostage Rescue Team, striking back against the gang becomes not just a matter of survival, but revenge.
But once Saul realizes that someone else is calling the shots - a deeply unhinged video-game addict, known only as Red, obsessed with inciting mass civil unrest - he quickly learns there's a whole lot more at stake.
Fast-paced, relentless and brutally exciting, Riot - the third instalment in the Saul Marshall series - is perfect for fans of Mark Dawson, Lee Child, and J. B. Turner.
