I'm normally one who can take or leave a prologue - hate the ones that seem to give away the entire point of the book, but LENNOX has a really good prologue. Clever, kind of funny, it certainly made me sit up and pay attention.
From the Blurb:
Private Investigator Lennox stands somewhere between legal and illegal, honour and greed, crims and cops. The one clear thing about Lennox is his certainty that only the toughest and most ruthless survive in his home town of Glasgow.
Opening Lines:
In my life, I have had to explain my way out of a lot of tight corners, but this one tops them all. (from the prologue incidentally).
Private investigator Lennox stands somewhere between legal and illegal, honour and greed, crims and cops. The one clear thing about Lennox is his certainty that only the toughest and most ruthless survive in his home town of Glasgow.
The McGahern twins are on the way up in Glasgow's grimy underworld. Then Tam, the brains of the pair, is killed in a vicious contract killing. Frankie, Tam's identical twin, wants Lennox to find out who killed Tam Lennox refuses. Later that night, Frankie turns up dead, and Lennox finds himself in the frame for the murder.
