Review of Leaving Mercy to Heaven:

Bryan Marlowe's latest novel Leaving Mercy to Heaven is a smoothly written and intriguing blow-'em-up, shoot-'em-down spy thriller. Beginning outside Rick's Cafe in Casablanca and moving quickly from one exotic city across North Africa and the Middle East, the excitement and tension builds and never abates. Terminating in the United Arab Emerite city of Dubai, Marlowe completely solves who, what, where, when and why. This well written tale of revenge is a book you cannot put down.
