Description
The past catches up with a mobster who has tried to go clean.
When the head of an organized crime gang who had become a respectable businessman is found dead by shotgun in his home, the police force know it can’t be suicide.
Barry Dancer was a man of many talents, including getting in trouble. But he had given up crime to build a business empire and leave a legacy to his wife and children.
There is no shortage of people who could have wanted “The Dancer” dead. And Detective Inspector Penelope Darling is not afraid of ruffling a few feathers to get to the truth.
Darling knows a trip down memory lane in the Newcastle criminal underworld is on the cards but her adversary has a few tricks up their sleeve. Can she bring the killer to justice?
IN THE FAMILY is the first in a brand-new series of crime fiction titles by Martyn Taylor. If you like thrillers with a tinge of noir and some humour, you’ll enjoy his books.
Look out for MEN IN SUITS, the second book in this series available soon from Amazon.

Barry Dance, "The Dancer", a former criminal , now businessman, is murdered, and inexperienced Detective inspector Penny Darling is in charge of the case to find the killer. She has the support of her mentor and senior officer Milburn, and is assisted by Morton, an old school police officer, and Reid, a former colleague, now private detective. They are all good characters and there's a lot of humour in the dialogue.
The killer is revealed early on in the book, and the team search for evidence so they can charge the culprit. This is an enjoyable police procedural with a good plot. I look forward to the next book in the series. Recommended.
In the Family by Martyn Taylor was a quick and gripping organized crime thriller.
I love anything organized crime and gang related.
This story really did keep me flipping the pages and intrigued till the very last page.
