The old man is driven away with a pillowcase over his head. Strange goings on as his family does not seem wealthy as the old man owns a news agents shop. The one son who has just graduated from university has another name Bob instead of his famiOmar is suspected of some drug dealings. Strange twists in this book
review 2: I've read a couple of Denise Mi... morena's books so far and last year really enjoyed the second in the Alex Morrow series 'End of the wasp season'. This is the first book in the series and it was really good, Alex is a great character , a working class DI in the tough Glasgow police department who is battling her male collleagues prejudices, her criminal family background, and her personal relationships. She is tough but vulnerable and I can't wait to read more. The plot is interesting as a Ugandan Asian newsagent is kidnapped in a violent incident by bungling criminals, the plot doesn't creak although there is one love interest which I felt did stretch believability but it didn't spoil the overall enjoyment. less
