About this listen
Two children are abducted on their way home from school and are still missing after several weeks - no one knows whether they are alive or dead.
The police are certain that ruthless local gangster Vince Formosa is behind the kidnapping, but have no proof. Forced to resign following an accidental death in police custody, former Detective Inspector Sep Black knows he's been set up. But how can he prove it?
Convinced that Formosa has a mole within the police, Black sets out to expose the traitor and clear his name. He must go undercover and find the missing children....
©2016 Ken McCoy (P)2017 SoundingsI love Ken McCoy but all previous books of a completely different genre; but one of the reasons I liked those books is the author’s ability to spare no punches in his writing - any story that grips me in that way, and causes a juxtaposition on my own relatively calm life enthrals me. I wasn’t sure this was going to do it for me - crime stories are unfamiliar territory for me and I’ve always believed I wouldn’t like them. But this book was brilliant. I love Sep’s outlook on life - despite the hard blows he’s been dealt he never let go of his intention - bar the one initial mini meltdown (no spoilers) - he kept his eye on justice being dealt, and I think he makes a great character.
But I also believe that the impact of the story was made by the narrator! He is top notch! I found myself ‘missing’ the Gorbals’ accent of his alter ego! Perfect enunciation on that hard nut character, well done narrator 👏🏽👏🏽
I feel that had I read the story myself I wouldn’t have heard the story in quite the same way. A perfect meld of story writing and storytelling 10/10 ✨
Ken McCoy excellent writer ✍🏼
