Product Description

Review

"A great read that races plum down the middle of the private-eye highway, complete with an ex-copper with a heart-to-let. It's witty, well-observed and keeps you guessing." Bruce Alexander, aka "Mullet" in A Touch of Frost.

Product Description

Nathan Hawk is a recently retired police officer. A widower with four children scattered all over the world, he has gone to live in a typical English village. He spends his time there struggling with Anger Management Disorder and gardening for all he's worth. He's trying to kill time, time he never had as head of a Murder Squad...time he never wanted, time he doesn't want now. Then, driving home one night from a dinner party in the company of a young, female G.P, he comes across a brutal murder and he's right back where he used to be - catching a killer.

Awesome 8 Sep 2006
Format:Paperback
A concerted fan of Midnight Summer Murders, already charmed by Inspector Barnaby, I fell in love at once with Marcus Barr's Haggard Hawk. Superb cover graphics perfectly encapsulate, not only the crime theme, the title. A sharp opening with the Ryders, brilliant dialogue, and the rest is utterly effortless. Plot flows. A fine dollop of humour - Marcus Barr adores a play with words. He is terrific to read. Top-notch characterization, fascinating individuals one would love or hate, I did wonder about the author himself; would I find him as irresistible as his books? He is an experienced hand with an exceptional mind I would anytime love to read, give anything to explore. Haggard Hawk is a novel I have been thrilled to squeeze into my favourites slot next to Toni Morrison - not many qualify. The author promises a detective whopper, and produces a whodunit dazzler. No fine editor or grand promo does this: Marcus Barr rocks. 9.5 out of 10, more I'd give. But we cannot afford complacency, can we? I look forward in earnest to the next story in the series.
