![]() ![]() Tony Parsons has touched on a difficult subject in this book and handles it really well. But it’s not just Max, because the whole team are well-realised characters, from his DCI boss all the way down. I like Max and find him a very believable hero. ![]() The story develops at a shocking speed with one or two quite grim and unexpected twists as we follow not just the main plotline of the hangings but several other unrelated, but well-described and gripping crimes. It puts him squarely in the centre of all the hate being aimed by the public at the police for doing their job. To many, these vigilantes are heroes, and feelings are running high.ĭI Max Wolfe is a member of the West End Central murder squad, and in the absence of his boss, finds himself appointed Acting Investigating Officer. ![]() A band of vigilante executioners are abducting evil men and hanging them by the neck until dead. It starts shockingly, with the kidnapping and execution-style hanging of a London taxi driver, which grim event is then posted live on You Tube. This is a fast-moving, hard-hitting crime story, set in London, which raises all sorts of interesting questions, quite apart from being a really gripping and well-written story. ![]()
