For Joe Gunner, his official war ended at Dunkirk when a shell damaged an eye and a leg. But he is soon roped back into his former job as a Glasgow polis. Parks uses an actual historical event as a jumping off place for this story, not totally successfully in my opinion, but well enough to make it exciting and intriguing.
What Parks does best, in this series and the previous one, is to evoke the time and place. Midnight air raids, prisoner of war camps, and the grit and hustle of a populace that refuses to buckle. I didn’t enjoy this quite as much as the Harry McCoy books, but it is, after all, the introductory volume of a new series, and I am looking forward to the next entry, Deception.
