Everything to Lose (A Lambeth Group Thriller #2) by Gordon Bickerstaff

From Goodreads

A research team claim that their new product will boost the performance of every athlete in the world. The Lambeth Group send a scientist, Gavin Shawlens, to investigate the claim.

The product is stolen, top athletes disappear, and the research team are unaware that their product has a dangerous side effect.

Gavin must stop the product launch before more people die horribly. When Gavin disappears, Zoe Tampsin, from the Lambeth Group, must find him before he becomes the next victim.

As if Zoe doesn't have enough on her plate. Past events in Gavin's life catch up with him. A powerful US general has decided that Gavin must die to prevent exposure of a 60-year-old secret capable of world-changing and power-shifting events.

The Chase is on …..

My thoughts

Thanks to Emma of Damppebbles Blog Tours for the opportunity to take part in the Blog Tour for this book. Having read others in the Lambeth Group Thriller series by Gordon Bickerstaff, I was more than happy to host a stop.

I gave this a 4 stars or 8/10.

Everything to Lose is the second in the Lambeth Group Thriller series, which began with Deadly Secrets. 

When your secret agent is not your normal James Bond style character, but more of a Jane Bond character. Meet Zoe Tampsin of the Lambeth Group, she's not your normal run of the mill secret agent as she's not male for a start.

In a plot that would feel at home among the pages of an Ian Fleming story, Gordon Bickerstaff has an inventive mind that has woven a fictional tale about a product that promises to enhance the performance of athletes the world over and could revolutionise the future of the SPORT, but in the wrong hands it could potentially cause untold damage as unbeknown to the research team that have developed it, there is a potentially dangerous side effect. 

As Gavin Shawlens is sent to find out more about the product and it's development, he finds himself in above his head as events escalate as the dangerous side effects come to light that can cause fatalities. As Gavin disappears, Zoe is on a mission to find him before he himself becomes a victim at the hands of others.

The chase is on for Zoe and her team to find Gavin before it's too late ...

This was a great read that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. I loved the developing relationship between Gavin Shawlens and Zoe Tampsin, as I feel that they have a journey to take us on. I look forward to getting round to The Black Fox, the next one is the series sooner rather than later.
