Really enjoyed this book and Jack Flynn is now on my ‘must read’ list!

Action packed book which will please any thriller reader.

The writing is excellent and paints a very good picture whilst reading to draw you in.

Jack Flynn’s novel Blood in the Water is not for the feint hearted. It’s a gripping and fast paced story about the capture and subsequent planned escape of a serial killer from South America. His brother wants him out and he’ll stop at nothing to do it. Associated with this is the muscling in of a new drugs gang to take control of the importation and distribution of drugs from Cormack O’Connell the union man who runs the men who work in Boston harbour and has oversight of what comes in and how much is skimmed off. If you can stand the gore then you’re in for a great read.

Not the usual crime book I would select to read, but am I glad that I did. The plot is complex and at the beginning a little baffling with all the characters but once I sorted them out a great story with a stunning climax. Based around Boston harbour the mix of a mass murder and a FBI officer together with a corrupt Union Boss and international drug dealers makes for a great tale.

Highly recommended

Wonderful gangster conspiracy thriller based around Boston docks with a mass murderer captured at the start and thence the plot to free him the thread tat runs throughout. A corrupt union boss, his daughter,a Malaysian gangster and a FBI investigator all play central parts in this gloriously brutal tale. Atmospherically beautifully written this grips from page one all the way to its explosive climax. Marvellous!

This is a gritty and exciting first novel by a major new talent in thriller writing.

The author knows his native Boston inside out and it shows. The plot is complex but credible and the characters well drawn and in some cases truly chilling and terrifying.

The action is nonstop and breathless abnd i read this almost in one sitting so drawn was I by the quality of the writing.

Highly recommended.
