Writing a thriller based on a true story is always particularly tough. Instilling enough drama while staying true to the original is a thin line, which Bonnier negotiates with skill and elan. It's difficult to know what parts are fact and which are fiction, and many readers will find themselves so dragged in by his characterisation that they will find ... Read morethemselves hoping the robbery succeeds. As a reminder that life can sometimes be every bit as engaging as art, the tension building up to the attempt and the robbery itself is nail-biting in its suspense. Full of drama, tension and with a really compelling plot, The Helicopter Heist is a truly riveting read that will go down well with non-fiction and fiction readers alike - and the fabulous twist at the end is not only unsuspected but also fits perfectly into the plot
