And we don't see enough of Nadia to care much for her, despite some horribly vivid scenes later on. But a writer's got his work cut out if said ordinary bloke is basically a sad loser with not much to recommend him. Having an ordinary bloke as your hero is fine – if you make the reader care about him. Robotham's a cracking storyteller as a rule, but BOMBPROOF never really enthused me.
And it just snowballs from there, as police and assorted low lifes pursue him round London. Except, she's gone missing.īOMBPROOF is Sami's shambling tale to track Nadia down, which gets him embroiled in a terrorist scare. Sam, though, just wants to play his guitar and be in a band – and to be with his sister Nadia. Now people reckon he's a star safe-cracker. Sami has just come out of prison after being in the wrong place at the wrong time when police raided a van he was a passenger in. He's in the background, though, for much of this book which is Sami Macbeth's story. In BOMBPROOF Ruiz, who at one point looked like the oldest cop in the universe, is now retired and celebrating his 62nd birthday. Michael Robotham is five books into a loosely-linked series where former cop Vincent Ruiz and psychologist Joe O'Loughlin are recurring characters.
