Jack is back, in a full length novel now - packed with action and double-crossing and no-good villainy.A chance intervention to help an old friend results in Jack taking on a favour for a local lowlife; from there the story quickly escalates and Jack finds himself racing to find his quarry before the less savoury members of the underworld find out and beat him to it.Family secrets, dark dealings thought long buried and plans within plans abound here, in a gritty and sharp tale that also gives you more of Jack and his past, his family and the things that matter to him.This is developing into a brilliantly realised series, with Jack's no-nonsense, human approach to dealing with the criminal underworld at the fore.
