Summary

Mark Dawson's Group Fifteen Files. Quick, lightning-paced action from the first minute to the last.

They call him 'Scorpion'. No-one knows his real name, and the only people who have seen his face are dead. He works for the highest bidder, and he's never missed a target.

The assassin appears in London with the name of an investigative reporter on his list. But has Scorpion met his match? The reporter has a protector - John Milton. And Milton might be the only man in the world more dangerous than him.

Great short story

Great story although £5+ for an audio book lasting less than 3 hours a bit costly

Great short story.

Bought on offer, I don't like books this short and feel they should be combined for better value. Howerer I will read/listen to any John Milton book.

Milton at his very best

A glimpse into John Milton’s group 15 days and a cracking story to boot. Mark Dawson has fast become one of my favourite authors.

Interesting Short book

I rarely read short books but I enjoyed this one. The twist at the end was very obvious but worth a read.

Good story, but with a flaw

great story & premise, but a big flaw in that once stuck at the house, a call for additional personnel & weapons would've been a wise choice..can't work out why that wasn't negated in the plot line

Holey Plot Ending

Story was ok but the ending has more holes than the Gibraltar 3. Without giving away plot spoilers, the final chapter or two contains plot items that contradict others. Sorry, but that spoils the story overall

Nice Hook

Story opens well and hooks you in nicely. Narration a bit hammy and the writing style lacks fineness, but enjoyed it nonetheless.
