An absolute pleasure to read!
This is a Swiss watch of a book – concise, beautifully crafted, effortlessly effective.
Seventh in the Cinq-Mars series, this thriller sees the Montreal detective, Emile Cinq-Mars transfer from the elite Night Patrol to the less demanding day shift. Well, that’s the theory……. until he encounters wild child, Quinn Tanner, daredevil thief, who inadvertently steals something far more valuable than she imagines and all ### breaks loose.
This book would make a wonderful film – strong as it is on visual images and impact, pacy narrative, vivid and diverse characters and snappy, wise-cracking dialogue.
As Farrow leads us deftly through the twists and turns of his labyrinthine plot more and more about the characters, the nature of the Mob and the corruption and collusion of the police is revealed.
This critically acclaimed Canadian writer is at the top of his game here and it is an impressive one. He is a master of the thriller genre. His spare, deceptively simple use of language drives a clear and powerful narrative.
“Ball Park” is an absolute pleasure to read.
