Manifest Recall by Alan Baxter
5.0
Rollercoaster ride from start to finish, which made a refreshing change from most of the books I've read lately!
I don't read a great deal of crime and I have a low tolerance for violence, but the characters grabbed me and sucked me in. Alan Baxter's writing is honest – these are bad people, their behaviour often repellent, and he doesn't try to pretend they're not. But he's able to humanise the protagonist enough that we feel sympathy for him, despite the bloodbath.
Recommended as a wild, in your face, blast of icy air kinda read!
