The hero of the hour is Lara, she was a police officer for 16
years and is now a freelance paramedic, the year is 2023 and she is to take part in the annual contest “The Gauntlet”. As Lara is female and the oldest competitor, she is not ranking too highly, but
she knows she has put the work in and has the experience behind her. The day
before she is due to travel to the contest, and when on a call out, she is shot
at as she arrives on the scene, on entering the property she find the Federal Employment
Commissioner alive but with a large bullet hole in his shoulder!
When Lara arrives at the competition site, she is taken aback to
spot the shooter, and wanders if he has followed her to the competition to
finish the job……… And then the action really starts with Lara taking part in
the gruelling competition - which needs all of her wits, intelligence as well
as strength and stamina - dealing with the other competitors, murder and mayhem
with a little romance thrown in for good measure.
At the same time, we are reading about events taking place months
ago from a seemingly unrelated story, we actually bob back and forth between
the here and now to the past as it all comes together in an explosive ending.
Nothing has been said if there will be more novels with Lara,
can I request, pretty please, that there be more, I finished reading the book
and wanted more, that says it all for me.
