"Rush hour on the underground and a killer is at large in London, striking apparently haphazardly in a series of vicious attacks. Andy Brewster, ex-SAS, on sick leave from active service in Iraq, works undercover for the Metropolitan police with his bomb expert partner, Burgess. Together they must find the killer before he strikes again. So far the victims have all been women with no apparent connection. Beth Hardy, former caterer who now runs a gourmet food shop; her daughter Imogen, dancing at the National; sad Celeste with her terrible secret; widowed Margaret, in to shop; and American tourist, Ellie, stranded there alone. Each of them regularly travels by tube not knowing they could be potential victims. When the July 7 bombs go off and public awareness is raised, Brewster and Burgess have a race against time to apprehend the stalker. But danger comes not just from knives and bombs. Murder is deadlier when the heart is involved." (from amazon.co.uk)

New book from Carol Smith
Carol Smith's latest book came out on the 3rd August and is entitled 'Without Warning'. It's the first crime book I've seen to (apparently) incorporate the 7/7 bombings in the story. Incendiary (Chris Cleave) and The Passenger (Chris Petit) deal with the aftermath of terrorist attacks (fictional London and Lockerbie respectively) but are there any others about the London incident?

Have you read this book? Sounds quite good from the Amazon blurb.
