“Nothing Left to Lose” by Patrick Heffernan a well-crafted and powerful crime novel. It tells the story of a man in rage over the death of his wife and child by the hands of terrorists, who brought down their plane. Angry, and also guilty for not spending enough time with them when they were alive, Kevin quits his job and makes himself a target for terrorists by his outbursts against Islam, which in his un-pc way he equals with the terrorism.Kevin Sullivan is a provocative and for some readers probably uncomfortable character, he is, however, utterly plausible and believable and his at first blind rage and thirst for violent revenge soon turns into something a little more constructive and helpful in the fight against terrorism.The book enters crime fighting territory that is full of great suspense and action scenes where Kevin’s tough persona comes to good use. You can’t help getting drawn into the story, it is well written, fast paced and highly entertaining. The book should do well with fans of action and crime fiction and give some of the big names in the genre a run for their money, especially if this becomes a series.
