Reseña del libro "Hard Boiled"
For five years, brilliant accountant Leo Miller has been rotting in HMP Belmarsh, his life reduced to the bitter taste of a hard-boiled egg. Framed by his charismatic mentor, the titan of finance Marcus Thorne, Leo is a ghost in the system, a forgotten casualty of a corporate power play. But when a sharp solicitor named Evelyn Reed arrives with an impossible offer of freedom tied to a piece of evidence from his master's past, a cold and meticulous quest for revenge begins. Freed from his cage, Leo quickly realizes that simple justice isn't enough. To dismantle the empire of a man like Thorne, he must become a monster of his own making. From an anonymous London flat, Leo forges a series of dangerous alliances: a caged Russian gangster with a score to settle, a ghost-level hacker with a grudge against the system, and the elite ex-SAS security chief who Thorne trusts with his life. Together, they wage a multi-front war of surgical strikes—crippling Thorne’s criminal enterprises, assassinating his secret financial projects, and turning his own web of corruption against him, all while Thorne, blinded by arrogance, hunts for a phantom enemy, never suspecting the "gnat" he crushed is the one pulling the strings. But even as Leo's plan reaches its devastating climax, it becomes clear that his war for revenge is just a single, brilliant move in a much larger, darker game for the throne of London's underworld. To topple a king, Leo must help crown a new one, blurring the line between justice and a simple changing of the guard. Hard Boiled is a gritty, modern noir that spirals through the gleaming towers and dark alleys of London. It's a story of meticulous revenge, shifting allegiances, and the corrupting nature of power, proving that in the end, the only thing that truly changes is who gets to sit at the table, and who gets served the cold, hard egg.
