About the Book
Cover-up? Kill? Where's Eilidh Duncan?
THERE'S MONEY TO BE MADE. Eilidh Duncan investigates a corrupt clique of politicians, officials, bankers, business people and gangsters all lining their pockets at public expense. At the dark heart of The UK Establishment, she documents a business-like operation built on greed, police corruption, abuse of power and â ~closed-ranksâ (TM) disinterest. Not surprisingly, She disappears â ] and her dossier is missing too.
EILIDH DUNCAN'S EXPLOSIVE dossier contains proof of cynical corruption and criminality lurking in dark corners of the UK Establishment. Now taken, Eilidh's odyssey into a twilight land of despair and whimsical cruelty begins. Live long enough and she might, yet, achieve her potential in a male-dominated world.
RELAXED AND UNSUSPECTING, Pastor Sam Duncan visits London. Danger closes as fast as his express train. He investigates using detective skills learned as a tier-one operator. All hell breaks loose as he plummets into a malicious criminal web of confusion, betrayal and stunning violence.
AS IF THAT ISN'T ENOUGH, they attack his family. Meanwhile, Eilidh's life hangs by a weakening thread. Yet, in the midst of it all, an unexpected helper is at hand miaow.
WITHIN DAYS, Sam and his wily minder Tonka face a gruesome trail of violence, murder and duplicity. Slimy tentacles of evil slither into their lives, disrupting and attacking. People die, guilty and innocent alike in London, Spain, Ireland and Scotland. Nowhere is safe as a lethal finale looms in a chase over the rugged Scottish Borders.
If you like the Bourne movies and writers like Lee Child, Robert Crais & James Patterson you've come to the right place. With a well-researched, fast-paced style, Angels Cut is a topical conspiracy thriller.
Mac Logan introduces the series.
About the Author :
CORRUPTION CRIME and ESTABLISHMENT MISCHIEF Started me writing thrillers. Short of spending a lifetime in jail, a vengeance trail of murder and mayhem has few acceptable alternatives. Writing is one of them. Sad to say, the pursuit of evil people may end in tragedy for both sides of an investigation. Tears may trickle down my cheeks as I write because my world as a writer is real to me. Crime fiction provides a means of pursuing nasty people with satisfying, imaginative robustness. My thrillers offer a sense of recourse against corrupt people and cadres who screw us and steal our money. PAY BACK? Even though such people hurt me in the past, I wish them no harm. In fact, I'm grateful to such deceivers for providing, as they do, the basis of The Angels' Share series. It's good to have a solid foundation for fiction: rooted in grievance and amplified by a surging (if somewhat graphic) imagination. PERSONAL I love family, cooking, good company, banter, sport, fun, and an occasional drop of 'The Cratur'. I live in the beautiful East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. POETRY AND ALL THAT Writing is part of me. It took me many years to admit I'm a poet. Could it be a man thing? My efforts started in childhood, ebbing and flowing until the present day. It seems I'm approaching 180 blogs ... can I be that old? ARTICLES AND STUFF With many articles published, often on business, some commissioned and the human side of work, I changed direction a few years back. Tired of the dry-stuff, my muse hauled me into writing fiction, non-fiction and poetry. As an author who aims to entertain, I'm eager for feedback. Your views on any aspect of my work are important to me. Please do get in touch. I am the founding Chair the Colinsburgh Galloway Library Trust in the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland.
Review :
"Like all other reviewers, I found this book fast-paced, enjoyably unpredictable and just that bit 'different' from other action thrillers I've read. Sam Duncan is an attractive (and impressive) hero and the generally short chapters keep the book moving; it's page-turning stuff. The plotting is skilful and there's enough character-building to prevent this from being merely a series of fast-moving events. In a very competitive field this stands out.Well done Mac Logan!" hillbank68 TOP 500 AMAZON REVIEWER
"As this book opens, it seems an exciting, and very readable, action thriller. Then as the characters are developed one is drawn in by the witty dialogue, by the fierce and touching family loyalties, and by the noble defense of the vulnerable against those who would abuse them to their own ends. Initially repelled by the violence in this novel, I felt, as in Stieg Larsson's novels, the visceral satisfaction of seeing justice meted out to the abusers of women." Maryann Ness WA USA
"Taken meets Bourne Identity - Fabulous!: an intense, gripping, intricate & beautifully written page-turner which I highly recommend."Simon Denman, UK, best-selling author and founder of Readers in the Know
