Sinossi
When Dennis Milne - now living under an assumed identity in the Philippines - hears that his old friend and colleague Malik has been gunned down in a restaurant, he decides to go back to the violent city he once called home, and bring the murderer to book. Milne arrives in a pre-Christmas London which is cold and hostile. But he is no longer a policeman; no longer charged with keeping the peace and upholding the law. Although his old friends at the King's Cross station do not know that Milne is back in town, it soon becomes clear that his arrival has been expected by men who are after his blood. Hungry for revenge and determined to uphold his own very rough brand of justice, Milne's search for the person behind his friend's death leaves a trail of death and destruction that is more wide-reaching than even he could have expected...

Recensione
"Simon Kernick may be a new kid on the block but he certainly knows how to crank up the suspense and deliver a kick in the gut when it's needed. A Good Day To Die is a terrific novel. Put this one at the top of your list; it will keep you up well into the night."
—Peter Robinson
"A Good Day To Die is everything we have come to expect from Kernick — one of the best young crime writers to have emerged in the past five years. It’s a fast-paced yet deeply moral thriller with a thoughtful protagonist who never mistakes himself for a hero."
—Laura Lippman
Praise for The Murder Exchange:
“Pathos, pace, twists and a savage sense of place make this a guilty pleasure.”
—Guardian
