My review.

The body of an unknown man has been discovered on a beach in the cold light of day, a body that has been shot and left to bleed out on the sand.Detective Inspector Ray Logue, still reeling from the events of his last case, is brought in to investigate. While working the case, he is drawn into the maelstrom of gang warfare as he comes face to face with the ‘New Blood’ - a young gang leader called Kyle Brody who is fast making a name for himself.Brody is lawless. He is a predator and a thug who takes no mercy on those who stand in his way, seemingly rejecting society and taking pride in causing anarchy .Dealing, smuggling and murdering are Brody’s trades – he’s good at them and from the wounds inflicted on the body Logue sees, it looks like he takes pleasure in cruelty.Yet as more details emerge about Brody’s accomplices, Logue realises that the lines between good and evil are not always clear. A really good read. Great story and characters. I liked Ray. I did like the cover. I do hope there is more to come. 4*.
