The Syndicate

The Syndicate is G.J. Minett’s 4th novel.

Twenty years ago, Jon Kavanagh worked for a crime syndicate.
Then one night he went against orders.
He left a witness at a crime scene. Alive.

Years later, he is haunted by the memory of that little girl, her face a constant reminder of the brutal life he chose to leave behind. He can’t help but wonder – what happened to her?

But as Kavanagh searches for a way to atone for his mistakes, his past is catching up with him. The Syndicate is looking to tie up loose ends, and they’ll use anything – and anyone – to get to him.

Because he might think he’s walked away, but the Syndicate is for life. And they’re coming for him.

What others had to say about The Syndicate:

Brilliant characterisation and such a tense, winding plot. I loved the way Graham wove the story together, Lisa Hall

Captivating, cleverly written, unputdownable. I devoured The Syndicate in one night. Minett and crime at its finest, Rebecca Thornton

Pacey, heart-stopping and poignant, Julie Corbin

In The Syndicate, G.J Minett has brought us a compelling, intricately-plotted novel peopled with fascinating characters, particularly the brilliantly drawn Jon Kavanagh, in whose outcome I was completely invested throughout. The writing is superb, the story intriguing and what an ending. Wow!, Gill Thompson

A master of language and character, GJ Minett’s The Syndicate is dark and treacherous with a real sting in its tail., Sam Blake

What a thumping good book! And an absolute gem of a hallmark GJ Minett mystery thriller. Full of twists and turns and surprises, this particular story built to an emotive ending that I found enormously satisfying. A great story from a master storyteller. More please, C J Carver

A powerful psychological thriller, The Syndicate explores the physical and emotional scars that mould the character of a killer, Carolyn Kirby

The Syndicate is a gripping story that builds to a stunning conclusion. GJ Minett’s Kavanagh is a complex and original creation; a man haunted by his past and living on borrowed time – Howard Linskey

A beautifully written, character-focused novel that reminded me of George Pelecanos at his best. Definitely one of my reads of the year so far – David Jackson

With Kavanagh, Minett has created the ultimate hero – dark, dangerous but with a depth of heart. If I was in trouble, I’d want Kavanagh in my corner. The Syndicate is a truly sinuous suspense that when you think you’ve got it worked out, has a resolution that snaps back and bites. – Kate Bradley

That rare type of novel that manages to be subtle, compassionate and with a real moral heart, but at the same time packed with enough twists and turns to the point you can’t put it down. A really entertaining read, but made exceptional by the emotional punch it carries – Rod Reynolds.
