Summary

Sami Macbeth is not a master criminal. He's not even a minor one. He's not a jewel thief. He's not a safe-cracker. He's not an expert in explosives. Sami plays guitar and wants to be a rock god but keeps getting side-tracked by unforeseen circumstances.

Fifty-four hours ago Sami was released from prison. Thirty-six hours ago he slept with the woman of his dreams at the Savoy. An hour ago his train blew up. Now he's carrying a rucksack through London's West End and has turned himself into the most-wanted terrorist in the country.

Fast, funny, hip, and violent, Bombproof is a nonstop adventure full of unforgettable characters and a heartwarming hero - Sami Macbeth - a man with the uncanny ability to turn a desperate situation into a hopeless one.

Brilliant

once again a brilliant story, characters and narration. Vincent Ruiz is the main character but equally as interesting as Robotham's Joe Mcloughlin. l have now listened to them all, can't wait for the next.

Another great story, well read.

This was my first ‘stand-alone’ story of Michael Robotham and I found it just as exciting and enjoyable as the series featuring Prof Joseph O'Loughlin Retired detective Vincent Ruiz is still in this one, and is a joy as always. Brought to life so well by the amazing narration of Sean Barrett, these books and their central characters have all provided entertainment and emotional ups and downs. I am currently devouring every Michael Robotham story I can find!
