This is the first of Seumas Gallacher's thrillers I have read and it was definitely worth the while. The tale is fast-paced and takes the reader on an international, action-filled ride as a London-based private security firm finds itself in the middle of a war between rival criminal factions. From the initial explosion in a London restaurant, the carnage ramps up as the vengeance of the title manifests. The author creates an original tale of mayhem where Eastern European gangsters, Chinese triads, London's Police force, Interpol and an eclectic assortment of ex-Special Forces personnel weave an intricate ballet of violence and retribution. The characters are treated well however; no two-dimensional Rambo-types here, and for that are thoroughly believable. A great thriller. Looking forward to reading more by this author.
