Former Detective Inspector Fergus ‘Captain’ Kirk believes he has moved on from his former life as a CID officer and for the last nine months been running his one-man inquiry agency. However, after learning of the murder of a former informant and having a curious meeting with an Inland Revenue Inspector, Kirk agrees to collect evidence against a dangerous, former nemesis. The beautiful, but vicious gangster and loan shark, Patsy Gallagher.
George Donald, Glasgow born, left school aged 15. Enlisting in the army aged 17 years, he served as a Royal Engineer Commando from 1971 to 1977. Upon his discharge, George joined Strathclyde Police where he served for 22 years, including 16 years as a CID officer.
Medically discharged in 1999, George returned to the police in 2001 and to date, works in a civilian administrative roll. Happily married for over thirty years to Anne and now residing in Hamilton, George is the proud father of three daughters, two sons in law, one fiancé and grandfather to Evie.
I am a big fan of George Donald's books, and was not disappointed by this one. Great storyline, interesting characters. As with all his books I find it impossible to put down, and usually read them in two or three sittings.
