This is a nicely-paced and enjoyable thriller in which some of the characters behave unexpectedly. DS Jackson is involved in solving drug-dealing, deaths from very pure heroin, possible people-trafficking, and if that were not enough, one of the senior members of his force has been kidnapped. She is being held to ransom and is threatened with death within 48 hours. The tension and the action pile up.
I liked the back-stories of some of the characters as far as we were allowed to know them, particularly, of course, Jackson himself and the homeless waif he takes in. They both turn out to be rather different people from what I expected at the beginning. This is the author’s first book and it’s a darned good read. It augurs well for his future writing.
