Mick has now been sober for 6 months caring for Ginny who's arm has physically recovered after the bomb explosion at the end of the last book. This is immidiately suspect - both for the alcoholic and the rate of Ginney's recovery. At least however Ginny's mental state is still somwhat fragile, and she hasn't got over the loss of her hand. Although not bitter about it, she hasn't recieved any acclaim about her heroism and having to rely on Mick makes her doubt her former tough status. Mick is desperate to see her return to her former abilities and agrees to take on a bodyguarding case without knowing all the details. It turns out that the accountant who hired him needs protection from 'el senior' the local gangster baron - hardly the weakest of opponents for the duo to guard him from. Their job is made that much harder when they realise their client has been (and continues to) lie to them.
Same noir vein as before but, somehow none of the characters quite work as well as previously. A readable continuation though. ( )
