Kill [redacted] is an intense, disturbing, page-turner of a novel, which I enjoyed very much, although I wasn't too keen on the unnecessary use of Capital Letters.
Michael's beloved wife is caught up in a London terrorist attack, and he sets out to punish the person he deems responsible. Not the terrorists themselves, but the politician Michael believes is to blame, and whose name is obliterated throughout the book.
The story is told wholly from Michael's point of view, and, during his reflections from the time he was a policeman and then a headmaster, we learn that some of his actions were extremely disturbing even before the bombing took place. The book seems disjointed in parts, but every little thing is done for a reason, which becomes clear as the novel progresses to its dramatic, exciting (albeit abrupt) conclusion.
I loved the book and the cover, and I'm still not certain whether the name of the intended victim was redacted for legal reasons or whether it's a clever marketing ploy. It's brilliant, either way, and I look forward to reading more books by Anthony Good.
