A Red Dotted Line by Simon Gervais

This is the last week I’ll talk about the discovery of a new author, Simon Gervais. I’ve now finished his latest novel, A Red Dotted Line, only his second book featuring Mike Walton, an experienced terrorism expert.

One reason Gervais’ novels are so realistic is that he’s served in Canada as a federal agent … a drug investigator … an anti-terrorism officer … a close-protection specialist for world leaders like Queen Elizabeth and President Obama … and as a counter-surveillance expert.

These are fast-paced novels, with action around every corner. If you’re looking for a great escapist read, start with his first novel, The Thin Black Line.
