Falling Glass by Adrian McKinty (Serpent's Tail)

by Patrick O'Connor

IF you like your crime thrillers fast and furious with a mean, tough anti-hero then look no further than this cracking read.

Although there are brief diversions to the United States and Hong Kong, most of the narrative is set in Northern Ireland as we follow Killian, who was born into an Irish tinker family but has forged a reasonably lucrative career as an 'enforcer', someone who gets a job done (quite often collecting debts) with no questions asked.
