Review

Two cases collide for newly promoted Detective Superintendent Henry Christie. Felix Deakin, mobster extraordinaire, is so unwilling to serve out his full term in Lancashire Prison that he tells his lawyer and the crown prosecutor Naomi Dale that he'd be glad to testify against a rival gangster in court. Thrilled, they agree, but their plans go belly up when the wily Deakin, even more unwilling than they thought, escapes en route from court. DS Henry Christie, newly reunited with his wife but still up for a quick tumble with Naomi, is assigned the job of finding Deakin. Genteel readers may not care for all the torture and corpses Christie encounters in his quest, but they nicely echo the torture and corpses surrounding ex-cop Steve Flynn, now captaining fishing tours in the Canary Islands and, as Deakin sees it, living high off the million English pounds Flynn confiscated from him in a drug raid. Flynn is forced to deal with the murder of his girlfriend and the explosion of his boat. But what sends him back to England to confront Deakin is the villain's abduction of his son, for whose release he demands the million pounds. When Flynn offers his help in finding Deakin, Christie reluctantly consents. The result is an unexpected twist and a sizzling wrap-up. Oldham (The Nothing Job, 2009, etc.) stands beside Bill James as another tough, undervalued practitioner of police procedurals, none more astounding than this. --Kirkus Reviews, 15th April 2010

Excellent as usual from Nick Oldham. A great book and again a cant put down book. I read this one out of sequence as this one is number 14 my last one I read was 10. The three before this was NOT on Kindle only on expensive audio. So in future I will look ahead and order the BOOKS in advance of which I now have and have started. I would recommend to read them in sequence IF possible. There is a link between each one but still a very good read never-the-less.

After finding 'The Nothing Job' a disappointing read (I've greatly enjoyed and admired all the others in the series, bar one) I found this one well up to scratch. Great to meet another personable hero in Flynn (eat your heart out, Henry) and pleasing to find Henry can cope with no input from his usual American co-pilot. Highly recommended. Keep up the good work!

Great thriller with the main character Henry Christie. The characters are all very believable and come to life in the book. I enjoyed this, it was one of those stories where you can't wait to find out what happens then when you reach the conclusion you wished it would go on!
