I read The Violin Man's Legacy and Vengeance Wears Black one after the other. I recommend reading TVML first, to get the background of the characters.Gallacher's command of language is very good, and his settings are intriguing. His background in banking and security seems to give him an unusual insight into the kinds of crime he describes - and the cat and mouse games between ISP, law enforcement guys, and various nefarious crooks.The first chapter and other sections where Gallacher puts the reader right into the head of a character in a tense situation were the most compelling parts for me. I hope to see that quality more consistently in Gallacher's future novels, which I will look for and read.
