Your books are solid and well written and reflect the sad truth of our current times, where the rich and powerful seem to be going for broke before the whole thing burns down.

More Author Please! I finished this book wanting MORE! Pick up your pen again Mr. Bailey and give us more! All the "old cliche's" like "Gripping", "a real page turner" and "couldn't put it down" all apply. The characters and storyline spring off the page and you are transported around the globe and through the…

I really loved the book and couldn't put it down when I finally had the chance to relax with it. The amount of research was monumental. How the author knew all of the detail from guns to yachts to Cornwall. No wonder books take forever to write. Like that review said; when's the next one???
