Lima 3

by Harry Ferguson

In Lima 3 Harry Ferguson leaves the Kilos behind for a new call sign and a tougher assignment with the Lima team, the 'Allstars' of HM Customs Investigation Division. His new work brings him up against brutal Liverpool gangster John Haase. and it soon becomes clear that Haase works closely with a Turkish heroin smuggler known as 'Volkan'. But Volkan doesn't only supply Haase, he also supplies an equally ruthless gang in Brixton and before long the Limas are dangerously stretched trying to keep a grip on the London-Liverpool axis. Harry's health begins to suffer and his wife Nicky, fed up with his long absences and no-shows, walks out on him. Back in Liverpool, the team are poised to 'knock' Haase's gang just as they unload Volkan's drugs, but then something goes badly wrong. Full of shocks and surprises, Lima 3 finishes with such an extraordinary twist it's hard to believe that what you are reading actually happened.

[Hilton Hotel · Rating 5 out of 5]

ACIO Phil Connelly Headed up Lima Heroin Branch based at Customs House on the Embankment overlooking H M S Belfast. He was less than impressed when this book was first published as he felt Harry had betrayed the Team by giving away some of its operational secrets. Sadly Harry was no alone in disappointing Phil Connelly, one of his top rated UC’s botched a meeting that could have netted between 100 - 125 kilos of cocaine - piggyback container job. The informant was promised £2000 per kilo in reward money as a collective thank you, for all her efforts…..

Harry Ferguson used to work for MI6 but then transferred to law-enforcing agencies. This book is, in fact, biographical describing a particular drugs bust. Having said that, it is not at all boring: it reads like a well-written thriller. I was tempted to give it 4 stars ... and still might change my mind about my current rating.

Excellent book this.

Following on from Harry's first book, Kilo 17 this sees Harry on the Foxtrot/Lima (F/L) drug squads for HM Customs.

This follows the well known drug dealers / barons John Haase and Paul Bennett.

Well written and an exciting read.
