The book is a fast paced mixture of gory violence and a loving relationship between a father and his daughter. Fast paced, but gives the reader sufficient time to digest what is happening before throwing in the next twist in the tale! The plot evolves in a way that the reader might not expect, and the whole story ends up being more than just a typical murder crime thriller.
It is really well written and set in contemporary London with a new cop hero by the name of Max Wolfe, a nard as nails detective and single father of a young daughter called Scout. The relationship between father and daughter bring another level to the story and is a breath of fresh air, needed at times. There are some fairly graphic violence and I like the excessive goriness tbh! It is also a really great touch adding the explanations of the science behind the gruesome stuff. It's good to have an explanation as to why most gun shot wounds to the gut are fatal for example.
A wealthy family are murdered on New Year's Eve and their youngest son vanishes. Max has to find the killer and hopefully locate the missing boy.
The crime resembles one which happened years ago, for which a man was imprisoned and now has been released.
Wolfe and the team have to work out whether the same man could be responsible for these deaths.
It seems Max has miraculous healing powers as he is stabbed, buried, ripped apart, knocked out and drugged and still has only one overnight hospital stay. There was definitely some disbelief that needed suspending throughout! He makes James Bond seem soft and that man should be dead years ago! But, I loved this guy long may he continue! :-)
I'd worked out quite early on "who done it" but what I hadn't worked out was why and there were plenty of surprises.
I will be looking forward to the next book from Tony Parsons and eagerly awaiting the return of Max Wolfe!
Highly Recommended Reading!… (meer)
