Ex-intelligence officer Michael Kenyon finds he is fronting a gambling club withsome very shady backers.When he discovers that the manager is creaming off the top & setting him up,he decides to disappear...Can the mafia follow?
It was a book that never end. First the story of the father and then when you thought he sort of made it and would disappear...the story of the son started. It became a bit maudlin, and the son’s hitting on a teenager but “really mature for her age” a bit like her mother... but you k ow what. I read it to the end! It was a good 4 stars.
This is a great story with many facets and interesting characters. I takes place over a period of time which covers the whole of my lifetime and cleverly includes little historical social details that brought it alive for me. This overlaid the main story which was based on the two separate stories of a father and estranged son which gradually come together in a gripping conclusion.
