What happens when a soldier, home from his tour of duty,
cannot find work and is ignored by the government and insulted by civilians? He
turns to crime as a means of making a living.
Meet Kats, strong man with a moral streak. See, Kats doesn't
do drugs, not personally, and certainly not the buying and selling of it, and
this gets him into huge problems with Big Davie, and things go from the frying
pan into the fire when Kats takes on DJ, Big Davie’s only son. A mighty highway
crash, however, while dumping him into the sh*t when an innocent woman dies,
gifts a glimmer of a way out of his predicament. She kept a journal and in it
is recorded fraudulent dealings made by her boss…and turns out he is connected
to ol’ Big Davie.
This is well-structured and really clever. While making
pronouncements about the situation for soldiers returning home, about crime and
the economy, the tale itself moves at a swift pace and keeps you reading. Interesting
characters pepper this story, like Badger and Boots, one a heavy, the other a
soldier…and I’ll leave it to you find out who is what.
Set mostly in Scotland and employing the twang of the
region, this is a worthy read. It keeps you guessing right to the end!
