My Review

This is the first of the Hero Nelson series I have read but is not the first in the series. Initially I was a little put off by the name of the hero being Hero, however, what's in a name? I think Colin Dexter didn't lose anything by giving his Inspector Morse the first name of Endeavour. Once I got into the story, I soon got over myself and found Hero to be a very credible character and I even began to think that his dodgy name suited him. The bad guy Bob Myers (normal name there) to describe him as ruthless, merciless killer doesn't even cut it. He gunned down whoever got in his way and therefore the police were no threat to him. I would highly recommend to anyone who loves the crime fiction genre this superbly written fast paced thriller as one not to miss.
