Act Of Treason
Edinburgh has become a hotbed of violence. Hate crimes are at an all-time high. The streets are awash with class A drugs and girls trafficked for prostitution. Affluent and middle-class homes are getting turned over by psychotic, gun-wielding thugs. The city’s leading crime boss has recently been gunned down alongside his top lieutenants, and nobody knows who has filled the power vacuum, taking over Edinburgh’s seedy underworld – a world that the tourists, and most of the locals, never see. With police numbers cut to the bone and victims, witnesses, and informants too afraid to talk, the city is in a state of perpetual fear.
Detective Inspector Carson, a former Royal Marines Commando, finds himself once again on the battlefield. Only this time, it’s on home ground, and the stakes have never been higher. As Carson investigates the deaths of a local politician and his family, he finds himself in the cross hairs of a sinister organisation with far-reaching tentacles. His family taken, and left for dead himself, Carson enters into a fight against the odds. He must do whatever it takes to save his family and stop his adversaries from seeing through their nefarious plan. A plan that will bring the nation to its knees.

A debut novel by this author which I found very good. It was a complicated intricate plot which was fast paced and held my attention.

A book very much stuck in the past. Ultra violence, mostly against women, and a physical impact in the protagonists that the author only occasionally remembers. Women are in the novel only to be hurt so that the men have something to fight for and it is very difficult to have any sympathy for the main character when he doesn’t seem to actually care for his family at all, it is all about what’s been taken from him. Throw in a random stereotype of a career-minded leader at the start who decides to take against our hero for no obvious reason at all and what you have is quite a mess.
