Montecristo Martin Suter

I was asked to review this by Real Readers this is due for publication on the 23^rd June 2016 by No Exit Press.

This makes an interesting and has a new slant on thrillers as set in the world of high finance and Swiss banks – unusual by works.

The main character Jonas Brand a video journalist who wants more out of life than the career he has at present. He is looking for something to stimulate his intellect.  He has this desire to direct his own film- Montecristo, the plot concerns a man falsely imprisoned in Thailand on drugs charges, who seeks retribution on those who have framed him. 

For Jonas two events occur – the first whilst traveling on a train jumps out of the emergency door – is this suicide? Secondly Jonas then receives two 100 Swiss franc bank notes with the same serial number what is the significance of this.

The story is fast paced in a melting pot of finance, politics and media. There are lots of twists and turns to keep the reader on their toes.

The author has captured the plot well and has created good believable characters. Can see this up there in the top ten for the summer a good airport read and has the makings of a good television drama.

I will be looking out for this author in future well recommended.
