Detective Tom Bishop was a hard nut to crack! Growing up, his teenage years were filled with all the things you hope your kids never get into. But orphanages and foster homes have to be the right type or the worst will happen. When a cop by the name of Pat Wilson came to his rescue, took him into his home and taught him right from wrong, good from bad and guided him into the police force, Tom’s life changed. But he still had a darkness inside him – and when someone was wronged, his violence unleashed itself…The day the armoured van was ambushed, guards and innocent witnesses murdered and fifteen million dollars was stolen was the day Tom Bishop’s life changed forever. Surrounded by corrupt cops, cops on the take and cops ruled by an elusive entity called Justice, Tom was determined to work his way through the department until he had weeded them all out. But he was alone with no-one to trust, and everyone was out to get him. He had nowhere to turn, and with murder, violence and bloodshed his constant companions his life wasn’t worth much at all.This debut novel by Luke Preston was incredibly gritty, violent and brutal. The streets of the city will never be the same after Detective Tom Bishop has finished with them! Bloody, with profanities which were endless and heartbreak which was real, Dark City Blue is a deep, dark noir thriller. For those of you who love full on action, this is the novel for you!
