No Quarter Given

A gritty crime thriller

By: Neil Broadfoot

Narrated by: Angus King

She was lying in the road when he found her, crumpled and broken, the car that hit her screaming away from the scene in haze of tyre smoke and exhaust fumes...

Jennifer MacKenzie being hit by a car was a tragic accident. Or so it seemed. Until Connor is summoned to a meeting his girlfriend's dad, Duncan McKenzie. MacKenzie claims that Jen's accident was actually a message intended for him - and a way to force him to kill his trusted lieutenant Paulie King, who has now mysteriously disappeared.

His request to Connor is simple. Find Paulie and the men who hurt his daughter. Do whatever it takes.
As an all-out gang war threatens to explode across Central Scotland, Connor begins a journey that forces him to confront some uncomfortable truths about his girlfriend and the family he is connected to through her. But Connor is also driven by a vow - to find Paulie. And when he does, no quarter will be given.

A must read from Neil broadfoot

Edge of your seat, don’t know what’s behind each corner. Narration was superb. A definite must read

Outstanding…

This book had so many twists, and turns that I never knew exactly where I was being led. I had to rewind it several times to make sure I hadn’t missed anything. It definitely made one’s brain work to follow the story line. But at the end it was well worth the effort. It’s a great combination between King and the author.

Worth sticking with

I struggled in the middle but find the characters compelling. I’m very glad I stayed til the end!

What A Roller Coaster

What a ride from its start to finish. Connor is on a mission to find who tried to kill his girlfriend then the story begins. It’s brutal and at times confronting and jam packed with action family secrets and just how depraved some people are. Angus again did an amazing narration

Frustrating

This was a tedious book to finish. I found the story hard to follow and make sense of what was going on.
I kept rewinding it trying to decifer who was doing what, in the end I was still confused.
