About the Author:
Ken McCoy was born in wartime Leeds and has lived in Yorkshire all his life. He ran his own building company for twenty-five years, during which time he worked as a freelance artist and after-dinner entertainer. He has appeared on TV, radio and the stage. Married with five children, he is now a full-time writer and the author of six previous novels.
From Booklist:
This family drama, set in England about a decade after World War II, probably shouldn’t work as well as it does. Lola and Evie Lawless are the two young daughters of Ezra, a policeman whose tendency toward violence and belligerence isn’t confined to the workplace. One day, under circumstances that remain cloudy for years, Ezra dies, and Lola and Evie rejoice at the thought that they are free from his tyranny (even as their mother is convicted of his murder). However, they haven’t reckoned on their father’s brother, Seth, whose own foulness makes their father’s look positively harmless. And as the two girls struggle to live ordinary lives, they are reminded at every turn that Seth isn’t a man who will let Ezra’s death go unpunished. This has all the makings of an overwritten, overwrought thriller, but McCoy keeps a tight rein on his characters and his story, never letting them drift into B-movie melodrama, as so many revenge stories are wont to do. A solid thriller. --David Pitt
