‘Random Targets is an incredible edge-of-your-seat ride. The action starts quickly and never stops, keeping your heart racing the whole way through. There is a driving need to know what happens next. This novel is horrifyingly feasible and Mr Raven deserves full credit for the sensitive way he deals with the ramifications of the tragedy as well as the investigative twists and turns throughout the book.’

‘In Random Targets, British Author James Raven has successfully recreated a shattering sense of fear. The book opens as a sniper launches a devastating attack on the M27 motorway. Once the cycle of violence has begun, the pressure to solve it becomes crushing. Even promising clues prove to be cleverly disguised red herrings. In Jeff Temple – the protagonist - Raven has created the sort of working class hero that you’ll want to stay with not only throughout Random Targets, but in the series’ other instalments as well.’

‘Random Targets is the third book in the DCI Jeff Temple series and is a well-plotted and compelling story. Raven's writing is lean and sinewy, and his descriptions make the investigation real. Raven keeps up the tension throughout the story, and the action fairly sizzles until the very end. Random Targets is exciting and credible and it's recommended for fans of mysteries, especially those who enjoy police procedurals.’
