Another great read from Sam Llewellyn

Single Handed carries on where Black Fish finished except that Gavin Chance is now a great deal more sober, if not still as disaster prone as ever.
Russian gangsters, beautiful women and lots of desperate mayhem against a beautifully painted background of sailing the west coast of Scotland and England. Fans have had to wait a long time for this one, but it was worth the wait!

I loved the smart-alec wisecracking narration by the hero, but the plot required a huge suspension of belief. At least though, the hero wasn't immune to all the violence heaped upon him.

Nautical mayhem

Action abounds, set on the northeast coast of Scotland. Lots of sailing and convoluted scheming. Just the ticket for this fan of nautical action!

last one
