The Turkish Trap: A tense and intriguing action thriller. Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 12 ratings

Smuggling, blackmail and a shadow from the past.


Alex seems to have the ideal life – sailing in the Mediterranean, running a small business in England, and enjoying a new relationship with Maggie – but things are about to start unravelling, and as his past catches up with him, Alex faces losing everything he has – and a future in a Turkish jail.


Against a Mediterranean backdrop – with action in London, Dublin and Edinburgh – The Turkish Trap is the tense and intriguing story of Alex’s desperate fight to undo his previous mistakes.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This book was previously released as Dolphins in the Bay by the same author. While there are a few amendments and updates it is still the same story (DO NOT purchase if you have already read Dolphins in the Bay).

    This was an interesting experience but at times I found it hard to follow. The author kept jumping to different characters and scenes in the book and a times I had to go back to find out who it was that was doing the discoveries overall I read it to the end and it did finally make sense

    An intriguing narrative which moves the reader effortlessly between different locations from the coasts of the Mediterranean to city-centre Dublin. Dylan introduces us to a rich cast of characters, each of them observed with originality and wry psychological insight. The great strength of his writing is his appeal to all the senses as he describes the various settings - particularly the experiences of sailing on the sun-drenched Turkish coast. There are some scenes of great original humour and space,too, for interesting comment on the social and political background to his story. A great read which I would thoroughly recommend.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Turkey, London, Dublin, sailing - what more do we need than a spot of intrigue?
    Reviewed in Germany on November 4, 2020
    Dylan's debut novel does not disappoint: set variously in Turkey, London and Dublin, the realistically portrayed characters bring the story to life. From the tense beginning and then throughout, I was captivated . Having been lucky enough to sail in some of the same parts of Turkey as our protagonist Alex, I was instantly brought back to happy memories, as Dylan skillfully wove descriptions of not just the sights, but also the sounds and smells characteristic of the region into the story. Dylan's triumph comes when the interwoven threads of the story from three different countries are delicately brought together to a coherent whole at the end of the book. I can't wait to see what we get to read next from this talented new author.
