Critics Review
The most audacious and timely thriller in years
The best first thriller I have read since The Day of the Jackal, and that was a long time ago. With one mightly bound Tom Cain has vaulted over Archer and Grisham and stands close on Freddie Forsyth’s tail – Wilbur Smith
Audacious, authentic, full of tension and tradecraft… maybe it’s true and maybe it isn’t, but either way it is a great thriller read – Lee Child
The most audacious and timely thriller in years * Daily Mirror *
Fast-moving, cleverly constructed and very readable * Daily Mail *
Like the Bourne movies meets Frederick Forsyth * Guardian *
Reading The Accident Man is an exhausting, exhilarating and utterly enjoyable experience. That Cain manages to gain, and maintain, our sympathies for Carver - the hired assassin responsible for the death of the Princess of Wales - is quite a feat in itself. Yes, it’s escapist stuff, yet somehow entirely believable. I strongly urge you to read this book. It’s a perfect thriller * crimesquad.com *
