THE INTERROGATOR

J J Cooper

White knuckle writing from Australia’s answer to Andy McNab

Description of book

After Jay Ryan, the Australian Army's most experienced interrogator, ends up on the other side of the table facing a sadistic superior officer, he embarks on a white-knuckle flight from everything and everyone he trusts, pursued by foes who were once friends and with his one clear ally, his father, missing. Enter Sarah Evans, a secret agent assigned to make sure he comes to no harm - or so Jay thinks …

According to Greek Mythology, Aphrodite had a wayward eye and a loyal son. When Eros gave Harpocrates a rose to keep quiet about his mother's little indiscretions, the rose became a symbol for secrecy. This is a story Jay Ryan has never heard - until his hand is nailed to a table and a red rose tattooed onto his wrist.

Jay is an interrogator with a dark past and a tortured soul; he's also the keeper of secrets Israeli spies will kill to get their hands upon. Renowned for his skills, he is used to commanding a certain level of respect amongst his peers. Then one day Jay is drugged, tortured, tattooed and accused of rape. He is forced to reveal information that could further destabilise fragile Middle East relations and plunge the entire region into war. They are secrets he has struggled to keep hidden for four years.

THE INTERROGATOR is a story of betrayal and nightmarish conspiracy firmly rooted in the highest levels of government across international alliances. The story rockets toward a shattering finale that will leave the survivors changed forever. Thriller fans will enjoy the colourful characters, twisting, turning plots and fast action. The authentic military details gives the story a chillingly real context, drawing the reader into Jay's world and not letting us go until the very end.

Reviews

"With a rip-roaring plot that bursts from the gate and never lets up, a tough-as-nails hero in Jay Ryan, and an insider's knowledge of military intrigue, JJ Cooper is going to have some of the big guns looking over their shoulders with this fire cracker debut. THE INTERROGATOR has everything a fan of military thrillers could want -- heart-pounding action, chillingly-real detail, and a stunning conclusion that will leave them wanting more from JJ Cooper."

-- Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author of DIE FOR YOU
