Review Quotes:
'Sensational read. His best yet. Rod Besley has done it again, but this time has gone to elevated heights. This is a fast-moving, high-tension read that again takes surprising turns. The unexpected changes of events hit the reader like a sledgehammer. Thoroughly engrossing read from the master of high finance and international property transactions, all overlaid with ruthless tactics by proponents of high-level money laundering. Where high stakes are concerned, people are collateral damage.' Greg Meek, former CEO
'I had been eagerly awaiting Book 3 and finished it the night it arrived. It didn't disappoint. I was left with that 'Just when you thought it was safe to do another business deal...' feeling. It was great to reconnect with the familiar characters and, of course, witness the treachery within Tom's legal firm. Your grasp of the underworld, and the chain reactions when shadowy rival groups collide, added a dynamic new layer to the story. Rod, you tied off the loose ends with your parade of rogues... or did you? I can't shake the feeling that a fourth instalment might be on the horizon.' Michael Hawkins, AM FAICD
'In Vanquish Your Enemy, the third novel in the series, Tom Jackson has found himself negotiating an Italian property deal that has dubious sources of funding involving underworld figures from Hong Kong through to South America. What could go wrong? From Rome to London, its fast-paced edge-of-your-seat writing with plenty of action that will keep you up reading just one more chapter. Another masterful piece from Rod Besley.' Peter O'Donnell, Accountant
'Who said litigators have all the fun? Tom "Action" Jackson traverses Europe in ever-present danger, pits his wits against mobsters from three continents, encounters violence, death and destruction, and still manages to get the deal done on time....simply amazing. Another masterful tale from Rod Besley.' Stephen Quartermain, Lawyer
'Vanquish Your Enemy, like Rod Besley's two previous novels, has a riveting, fast-paced storyline. Rod knows how to capture the reader's attention with Australian and international intrigue. Book 3 is more than corruption in property development and money laundering - there is the vindictive pursuit of Tom Jackson and his offsider, Jason Jones, by their enemies. Vanquish Your Enemy is a testament to Rod Besley's storytelling ability. He holds you captive and does not let go.' Leighton Trafford
'Rod Besley's globetrotting lawyer and action hero, Tom Jackson, is back in Vanquish Your Enemy, the explosive third instalment in this international legal thriller series. When Jackson is brought in to advise on the sale of an Australian-owned theme park near Rome, routine legal work quickly gives way to something far more dangerous.
From boardrooms in Brisbane to back alleys in Ecuador, Jackson follows a complex trail through South America, Portugal and Italy, all the way to London. Along the way, he uncovers a web of corporate deception, criminal infiltration and questionable money flows that threaten to unravel the deal - and put lives at risk. As the danger escalates, Jackson must rely on his legal expertise, quick thinking and Krav Maga training to stay one step ahead. With global intrigue, sharp dialogue and high-stakes manoeuvring, Vanquish Your Enemy brings Besley's trilogy to a thrilling crescendo - while leaving the door open for more exploits to come.
