Thank you to NetGalley and Post Hill Press for this copy.

Good little novel about a agent who unravels a terrorist plot.
Not too complex. A lot of action and bravado.
Good for reading on the plane or on the beach.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me this ARC

Was a good story, well written with a great plot. Highly recommended to others. Will read more by this author.

Fancying a change, a step away from the usual U.K. crime based stories, I settled on The
Handler. Not having read anything by Jeffrey S. Stephens, I didn’t know what to expect, but I was to find this an enjoyable read and have added the author to my ever growing list.
Unlike some characters, they are ‘believable’, and with the main one, there is no ‘superman without tights’ type image..
Good storyline, good read.
Recommend.
