First with the Sean Duffy series, and now this. Bravo to McKinty for an ending I didn’t see coming.įor me, Gerald Doyle’s voice is permanently wedded to Adrian McKinty’s writing. The characters are well developed, even the Russian. The book moves at a steady pace and there’s very little down time. When the airline exec decides Killian won’t be able to offer the final solution he wants, he brings in a Russian enforcer with no qualms about ugly violence. If it weren’t for the recession and some problem real estate, he wouldn’t be back in the game. He’s also a Pavee, an Irish traveller or tinker in the old parlance. Killian is a retired, well semi retired, fixer. Which works well, because even though Killian thinks he’s on the side of the angels, the reader knows better. What airline exec? The book actually starts from the perspective of the runaway ex-wife. Having read the synopsis of this book, I initially thought I was listening to the wrong story.
If it weren’t for the recession and some problem real estate, he wouldn’t be back in the McKinty is at his continent-hopping, well-paced, evocative best in this thriller, moving between his native Ireland and distant cities within a skin-of-his-teeth timeframe.more As Killian follows Rachel's trail, he begins to see that there is a lot more to this case than first meets the eye and that a thirty-year-old secret is going to put all of them in terrible danger. Richard hires Killian, a formidable ex-enforcer for the IRA, to track her down before Rachel, a recovering drug addict, harms herself or the girls. But then, for some reason, his ex-wife Rachel doesn't keep her side of the custody agreement and vanishes off the face of the earth with Richard's two daughters. His beautiful new wife is pregnant, his upstart airline is undercutting the competition and moving from strength to strength, his diversification into the casino business in Macau has been successful, and his fabulous Art Deco house on an Irish cliff top has just been featured in Architectural Digest.
But then, for some reason, Richard Coulter is a man who has everything. Richard Coulter is a man who has everything.
