Click to read more about this book at
Amazon.co.uk In the military family there
is no worse crime than cowardice. Malachy
Kitchen, Intelligence officer, posted to Iraq,
appears guilty of it while on patrol with an
infantry platoon ambushed by insurgents. When
word spreads that he was 'yellow' under hostile
fire, his life starts to disintegrate. Kicked
out of the army, he becomes an isolated recluse
in a drugs infested London estate. But the
mugging of his neighbour, an elderly widow, by
addicts lights the flame that draws him to
regain his lost pride, to take the fight to the
narcotics network he sees around him. But it is
not so simple - because the drugs routes have
been colonised by other factions who want to
deliver equally dangerous packages around the
world. And if Malachy is to complete his quest,
he must first enter one of the darker alleyways
of life...

The
excellent Amazon book
site appears to be first with news about the eagerly awaited Gerald
Seymour book.
Within the next few weeks a review of the
book will be placed on this site. Until then, this is what Amazon
has to say about it...
Amazon.co.uk Review
Lean and laconically intelligent, Untouchable, a new book from
Gerald Seymour, shows that the Zen Master of British thriller writers is
working at the very apex of his powers. The "hero" is Albert
William Packer; a criminal genius, who is the big boy of the London
heroin-trade, able to flaunt his ill-gotten wealth as casually as he
flouts the customs men. But Packer has a problem: his own success. What
next for the gangster with everything? Fired by his sense of ennui, and
his incipient megalomania, Packer opts like the good businessman he is for
a bit of vertical integration, in his case by going straight to the
smack-suppliers in the Balkans, in war-torn Sarajevo, to cut out the
Turkish grocers and kebab-shop owners of North East London who have
hitherto been his source of narcotics. It's at this point that the book
really takes off. Seymour's descriptions of bombed-out Bosnia, from its
shell-shocked, grimy, mid-nineties nastiness to its odd, eerie,
Harry-Lime-like, turn-of-the-millennium weirdness, are worthy of the
finest in his field. Seymour's interweaving of plotlines--Packer's battle
with the eager Customs boys and the rumoured intervention of the opium
warlords--is deft and exemplary. Add in crisp dialogue, dextrous
characterisation and plenty of scrupulous detail, and you've got pretty
much the perfect thriller, a textbook example of the genre. --Sean
Thomas
Synopsis
Albert Packer is master of all he surveys. He rules the manor with an iron
fist. For 20 years, he's had it all his own way - the police and
intelligence services have targeted him but have yet to get close to any
sort of effective prosecution.
