Kurzbeschreibung

After narrowly surviving a vicious knife attack, gangland detective Eoin Miller thinks he’s earned a break from hunting down thieves, runaways, and stolen drug money. But when crime boss Veronica Gaines tips him off to a particularly sensitive new case, his Romani blood won’t let him say no. A rapist is targeting immigrant girls, and the half-gypsy Eoin knows all too well just how little help an outsider can expect from the local police. Besides, his client isn’t looking for someone to arrest the bastard. He’s looking for someone to stop him—for good.

But the deeper Eoin digs, the more tangled he becomes in a web of corruption, racism, and revenge…especially once his troubled past threatens to derail the investigation by raising questions about his own loyalty and family ties. With his life teetering on the brink of disaster, Eoin realizes there is a fine line between justice and punishment. Now it’s up to him to decide just which side he’s on.

Über den Autor

Jay Stringer was born in Walsall, in the West Midlands of England. He would like everyone to know he’s not dead yet. He is dyslexic, hence he approaches the written word like a grudge match. His work is a mixture of urban crime, mystery, and social fiction, for which he coined the term “social pulp.” In another life he may have been a journalist, but he enjoys fiction too much to go back. He is the author of Old Gold, the first novel in the Eoin Miller crime series, and Faithless Street. He lives in Scotland.

4.0 von 5 Sternen "...I broke the silence..." 13. März 2013
Von Kiwi - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Amazon Vine™ Rezension (Was ist das?)
In this second installment of the Eoin Miller series, Eoin is still being confronted with his own demons along with attracting violence to himself. It seems to be a theme he can't escape. He delves into the world of *family,* both his biological and his somehow invented family. As the story moves on, we hear more about his childhood, about the fires and the reenactment of those fires to help dissolve the old and raise him up from the ashes of hell. He's still reaching for himself and working out the kinks. He knows he needs love, even though that seems unlikely. Perhaps the next book will break that need wide open.

"I need to live in a world where the tree makes a sound when it falls in the rain forest, even if there's nobody there to hear it. I need people to matter, things to matter, because then maybe I will matter."

The journey of self discovery has its ups and downs and its in-betweens. Sometimes we go from one extreme to the other in search of balance. Sometimes that balance never comes, but we hold on to hope and reach out for someone to extend a hand.

3.0 von 5 Sternen A Readable Letdown 12. März 2013
Von jd103 - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Amazon Vine™ Rezension (Was ist das?)
I loved the first book in this series but was disappointed in this second entry. Part of it may simply be that the main characters were already known to me from the first book so I was less involved in getting to know them, but they certainly seemed less unusual to me this time around.

There seemed to be less atmosphere and angst in this entry, making it more of a standard mystery. There are actually a couple cases to be solved in this book--one a family matter and one a bigger issue. Unfortunately, the 'bad guys' in both cases were painfully obvious to me long before the answers dawned on the main character. Maybe his brain is slowed down by the painkillers he's taking, but he seemed pretty dense.

There wasn't really any further unraveling of bigger mysteries and ex-wife relationship issues unexplained in the first book, but the ending suggests those could be coming to a head in the near future. I'll read another followup, but with less eagerness.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Run, Don't Walk, to Get a Copy 13. März 2013
Von Timothy J. Mccarthy - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Amazon Vine™ Rezension (Was ist das?)
Gypsy ex-cop Eoin Miller returns after his debut in "Old Gold". Never simple, his life becomes more complicated when his new mob boss wants him to solve a series of rapes against illegal immigrants, and his old mob boss wants him to set up his new boss for a hit. At the same time, his mother endures a savage beating - courtesy of the old boss, the new boss, or someone else? - which brings his long estranged brother and sister back into his life.

Eoin is absolutely not your average crime/thriller type of detective. He's a dark fellow inhabiting dark spaces in the world. Think Harry Bosch, then go several degrees darker. It's a bit less noir than the first novel, but maybe that's because I'm getting used to Eoin and his "friends". The pacing is still tight, the characters fleshed-out, and everything is quite believable. What really grabs you here is the fact that nothing is predictable. Eoin is off the sauce, but he is still pretty much a wild card, which adds to the tension and suspense.

I gave "Old Gold" 4-stars, but have to bump this up to 5. We're learning more of Eoin's back-story, and it seems that a confrontation with his father can't be far off. I'm hooked: as long as this series continues, I'll be buying Stringer's books!
