Couldn’t get through it. Too much swearing and violence for me. But if you are unaffected by this is novels, this may be the book for you. No issues with the book, a little worn on covers where color is coming off (see pictures). One mark on inside of the book on first page from a previous owner which indicates they read the book (see pictures). This would be a great purchase for anyone wanting to start reading Simon Kernick books. Enjoy!
