Pigeon-Blood Red by Ed Duncan
3.0
At only 200 pages this is a short sharp read and one that is thoroughly enjoyable.
It has a real-life mafia vibe to it complete with hitmen, conmen and generally unsavoury characters. The entire story is straight to the point with swift justice evoked throughout as problems are dealt with using violence rather than words.
Rico is charged with the job of retrieving his bosses priceless necklace containing the pigeon-blood red ruby after it was stolen almost right from under him. What follows is a cat and mouse like game that takes them from Chicago to Honolulu as he chases down the priceless gem.
Unfortunately, there is collateral damage in the form of innocent bystanders as this fast-paced gritty crime story plays out before us, but when your crime boss tells you to get a job done then what choice do you have?
Thank you so much to Book Publicity Services and the author for my #gifted copy.
