What can happen when an ordinary member of the public’s mobile phone is hacked?

[Click on LOOK INSIDE! for a summary of great early reader reviews on Amazon]

A student has been murdered in North Wales and the press are hounding her landlord, Gareth Evans. Peter Gray, a reporter, sent up from London to cover the story, tries to protect his ex-colleague Gareth, but becomes embroiled in a murderous plot.

Craig Fletcher, a drugs runner, wants retribution. He plans to torture and kill James Ryan, the man he believes tried to have him killed six years ago and who is now running his former drugs empire in the north-east of England. Fletcher’s plot involves the abduction and murder of IT worker Travis Williams, whose disfigured body in a burnt out car will keep James Ryan’s men off the scent while Fletcher exacts his revenge.

But in its bid to be first with a ‘new angle’ on the murdered student case, a tabloid paper conflates the two stories and the result is confusion and chaos. As the body count rises and the journalists, the local police and Travis’s acquaintances, Nick Parker and Ann Butler, try to work out what is really happening, the race is on to find the location where innocent people are being held before more deaths are added to the list.

Their intense experience over three long days drives many involved to question some deeply held assumptions and re-examine their consciences. Ultimately, in various different ways, nearly everyone caught up in the media frenzy becomes a victim of press intrusion and phone hacking.

Great Read

Recensito in Italia il 30 ottobre 2013

In fact, I am not so much into thrillers and suspense. However, this book grabbed my attention with its depth achieved, moral issues raised, some social awareness provoked. The narrative style is enjoyable, kind of natural, though quite intelligent and even scientific.
I was also impressed by the author's biography, including hobbies.
Honestly speaking, I was really somewhat relieved to reassure myself it was just a work of fiction. When speaking of the UK, I like the idea of people being surprised by such events and actually denouncing such practices. Whereas, in some other parts of the world journalists are being threatened, to say the least. And those cases being classified as 'it just happens from time to time' or 'that's normal around here' is simply ludicrous.
By all means, this book could serve as a good example not only for the UK, but also around Europe and allegedly the world.

Although this book can be read as a stand alone, it is the second in the Travis series and I really wish I’d read the first book before embarking on this one. There is no doubt at all that this is a gripping thriller but in the beginning I found it hard to get to know the characters as so many seemed to be introduced without really giving the reader a chance to identify with them. This was further compounded by the numerous pseudonyms that were used throughout with several characters having more than one name. Add to the mix, action that takes place in Wales, Poland, The North-East and that the action is divided into five parts rather than a beginning, a middle and an end, and you can see that it is a recipe for confusion.
Having said that, I really liked the way the author dealt with topical problems such as phone hacking and media harassment. The fact that the newspaper refuses to change its story even after getting the facts wrong speaks volumes about today’s society.
By the end of the story I could admire the way the author brought all the strands together with many unexpected twists and turns. In addition, the character of Ann is very well portrayed and we were given glimpses into what had happened five years ago. Gareth too is extremely well described but I think that the whole story would have been held together far better by reading the first book.
On the whole this is a thrilling story of suspense with some real villains. Personally though I would have preferred fewer characters and more backdrop about the location. I felt the description of Wales worked well but as for Poland, to be honest the setting could have been anywhere as there were few details to relate to. The villains and especially the Russian Mafia did come across as slightly stereotyped at times.
If you are looking for a fast-paced thriller that will have you wondering about the next twist then I can recommend it- just read book one first!

Would Make an Exciting Movie

Although Retribution can certainly be enjoyed as a stand-alone thriller I found it more helpful to read it as a sequel to 'Web Of Deceit'. The story takes place some years later and involves a number of the characters from the first novel.
In Retribution Travis and Ann find themselves embroiled in an escalating murder plot, which is acted out against the stunning landscape of North Wales.
Mr Stubbs delights in weaving complex tales, told from multiple viewpoints, to a background of press abuse. He is also obviously a bird enthusiast, and his expertise is cleverly woven into the tale, adding a fascinating extra dimension to the story.
A clever and thought provoking novel which, as another reviewer has said, would make an engrossing film.
