The Business of Dying
reviewed on + 170 more book reviews


London detective sergeant Dennis Milne is the main character in Kernicks debut novel and what a character. After years of dealing with London crime, he has finally decided to pursue justice in his own way as a cold-blooded hit man. Things begin to come apart when the drug dealers he thought he was taking out turn out to be a civilian and two customs agents. At one level an excellent police procedural as Milne works to solve the murder of a young hooker, on an other level a fascinating look into the real world of crime and what it does to people on both sides of the ledger. I look forward to more from Mr. Kernick.
