Cover-up? Kill? Where's Eilidh Duncan? THERE'S MONEY TO BE MADE. Eilidh Duncan investigates a corrupt clique of politicians, officials, bankers, business people and gangsters all lining their pockets at public expense. At the dark heart of The UK Establishment, she documents a business-like operation built on greed, police corruption, abuse of power and â ~closed-ranksâ (TM) disinterest. Not surprisingly, She disappears â ] and her dossier is missing too. EILIDH DUNCAN'S EXPLOSIVE dossier contains proof of cynical corruption and criminality lurking in dark corners of the UK Establishment. Now taken, Eilidh's odyssey into a twilight land of despair and whimsical cruelty begins. Live long enough and she might, yet, achieve her potential in a male-dominated world. RELAXED AND UNSUSPECTING, Pastor Sam Duncan visits London. Danger closes as fast as his express train. He investigates using detective skills learned as a tier-one operator. All hell breaks loose as he plummets into a malicious criminal web of confusion, betrayal and stunning violence. AS IF THAT ISN'T ENOUGH, they attack his family. Meanwhile, Eilidh's life hangs by a weakening thread. Yet, in the midst of it all, an unexpected helper is at hand miaow. WITHIN DAYS, Sam and his wily minder Tonka face a gruesome trail of violence, murder and duplicity. Slimy tentacles of evil slither into their lives, disrupting and attacking. People die, guilty and innocent alike in London, Spain, Ireland and Scotland. Nowhere is safe as a lethal finale looms in a chase over the rugged Scottish Borders. If you like the Bourne movies and writers like Lee Child, Robert Crais & James Patterson you've come to the right place. With a well-researched, fast-paced style, Angels Cut is a topical conspiracy thriller. Mac Logan introduces the series.

Gritty, fast-moving intrigue of corruption married with violent crime... a great read...


Any business man or woman who's been around a while will easily recognise the elements of corruption that underpin this fast-moving yarn... the main characters don't really exist in real life... or do they ?.. take the greed and stealth of high-placed government officials, mix in top-ranking law enforcement personnel dealing on the wrong side of the criminal line, add a range of English, Irish and other big-time, violent, criminal players, drum up really hard, hard-assed special forces types on both sides of the legal divide, light the blue touch paper and stand back... through no desire of his own, Sam Duncan, an ex-special ops man, now a part-time lay preacher, is sucked in to the hunt for his kidnapped investigative journalist sister... the field rustiness is cast off with ease as he deals with confrontation after confrontation with forces desperate to silence his sister permanently, and through that, silence Sam also... enough twists and action scenes keep this novel spanking along at a great pace... I can't wait to read the ensuing work by Mac Logan... a great find and an equally superb read...
