Bombproof by Michael Robotham

Sami Macbeth is not a master criminal. He’s not even a minor one. He’s not a jewel thief. He’s not a safe-cracker. He’s not an expert in explosives. Sami plays guitar and wants to be a rock god but keeps getting side-tracked by unforseen circumstances. Fifty-four hours ago he was released from prison. Thirty-six hours ago he slept with the woman of his dreams at the Savoy. An hour ago his train blew up. Now he’s carrying a rucksack through London’s West End and has turned himself into the most wanted terrorist in the country. Fast, funny and action-packed, Bombproof is full of unforgettable characters, including its heartwarming hero, Sami Macbeth, a man with the uncanny ability to turn a desperate situation into a hopeless one.
