High Pressure is a gripping standalone thriller from the #1 bestselling author of Little Bones and The Dark Room, Sam Blake.
As temperatures soar across Europe during the hottest summer for 40 years, a series of hoax terrorist attacks is generating panic in London. Then a bus blows up on Oxford Street and the hoaxes have suddenly become real.
Student Brioni O’Brien has been desperately trying to contact her older sister since she unexpectedly returned early from travelling, so when Marissa’s bag is found near the site of the explosion, she fears the worst.
Teaming up with terrorism expert Anna Lockharte to search for Marissa, Brioni discovers that her sister got herself into a very dangerous situation – and now she and Anna could be caught in the fallout.
'Blake's strength lies in her ability to combine tough and memorable characters with a deliciously complex and fast-moving plot that never wanes.'
Sunday Independent
'In the fallout of an explosion in London, Brioni finds herself fearing for her sister. With the help of Anna, an anti-terrorism expert, Brioni searches for her sister, whose name is Marissa. Narrator Aoife McMahon deftly navigates the Irish, English, and American accents of the characters involved. Sam Blake's novel has listeners wondering about Marissa's marriage and her husband. McMahon's narration enhances the story. She keeps to a calm tone but shifts geographic accents and alternates her tone as Brioni and Anna find themselves thrust into the role of investigators. McMahon slowly ramps up the emotion as Brioni and Anna close in on the answers they seek.'
