Publisher's Summary
He is darkness. She wants him dead. In a city starved of light, she might just succeed. She moves like a shadow; she kills silently: Raven.
This elegant assassin has been on the run for years. This time, though, she has picked the wrong target.
The hitman known only as "Victor" is as paranoid as he is merciless and is no stranger to being hunted. He tracks his would-be killer across the globe, aiming not only to neutralise the threat but to discover who wants him dead.
The trail leads to New York...and then the lights go out. Over 12 hours of unremitting darkness, Manhattan dissolves into chaos. Amid looting, conspiracy and blackout, Victor and Raven play a vicious game of cat and mouse that the city will never forget.

Enjoyable but not the best in the series
Would you recommend The Darkest Day to your friends? Why or why not?
It wouldn’t be my first recommendation. The earlier books in the “Victor” series are better in my opinion.
Any additional comments?
I’m not sure whether a) I’ve just become a little desensitised to the format as this is the 5th, or b) whether the prolonged journey/chase in NY was just too long (too big a proportion of the whole storyline) but for whatever reason I did not find this one as enjoyable as the earlier books in the series. It’s not a bad book … but I wouldn’t give it the very high ratings of the earlier ones.
Once again, Philpott does an excellent job with the narration.
