McDermid, Val Crack Down
Scribner Book Company November 1994 0684197561 / 9780684197562 Hardcover acceptable Hardcover
From Publishers Weekly nBritish PI Kate Brannigan persuades her lover, Richard, to help out in an investigation of auto-financing fraud. He agrees and ends up in jail, busted for possessing two kilos of crack he didn't know were stashed in the car he was driving. Kate wants to help him, but she can't risk blowing his cover or exposing him to danger from drug dealers who resent his interference. Richard's lawyer suggests that the PI find the real criminals and turn them over to the police, complete with incriminating evidence, please. So she does, bagging enough bad guys to make a video-game player proud. Along the way Kate depends on assorted useful friends, including a burglar, a member of the Manchester police force, a reporter, a physician, an employee at social services and an assistant to a financial broker. She also calls upon skills cultivated in her Thai boxing training. Someone is murdered, an act Kate may have contributed to, but it's all part of the nonstop action, through which McDermid's (Kick Back) heroine charges with remarkable aplomb. nCopyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. n nFrom Library Journal nPrivate investigator Kate Brannigan also refers to other detective fiction while establishing mood. And it is a heavy mood that descends from the onset when Kate's boyfriend, Richard, a rock journalist, finds himself jailed for drug charges. Kate hustles to corner the true dealers while attempting to hide Richard's trouble from his visiting eight-year-old son. Kate's nifty friends/contacts, including a powerful female lawyer, a lesbian newspaper writer, and her own male business partner, help make Manchester a palatable place to live. Inviting characters, plot, and premise, then, with steady building suspense as well. Recommended. nCopyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.
