Perfect for you if...

  • You love protagonists who are charming disasters, stumbling through danger with more luck than sense.
  • You want crime fiction that doesn't take itself seriously but still delivers genuine thrills and real stakes.
  • You appreciate British wit mixed with visceral action, where the hero's chaos is as entertaining as the plot.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You need a protagonist you can root for from the start, not someone who's constantly making terrible decisions that put others at risk.
  • You prefer procedural crime writing where the hero uses expertise to solve problems, not blind luck and improvisation.
  • You dislike violence paired with humour, or stories that treat dangerous situations as dark comedy.

About this book

Sami Macbeth is a guitarist who dreams of becoming a rock star, not a criminal. Fifty-four hours after his release from prison, his train explodes in London. Now carrying a rucksack through the West End, he has become the country's most wanted terrorist—despite having no involvement in the attack. Trapped between terrorists, criminals, and corrupt officials, Sami finds himself in increasingly desperate circumstances. The novel follows his attempts to navigate this dangerous situation across a fast-paced narrative filled with violence, humor, and unexpected turns. Along the way, he encounters various characters and becomes entangled in a web involving drugs, corruption, and a smoking gun. Bombproof is a kinetic thriller that combines action with satirical elements, centered on a protagonist with a talent for transforming bad situations into worse ones.
