 Put this one on your list. May 27, 2000

Kate is a tough PI, and not completely likeable. Richard, the boyfriend, is a marijuana smoking rock journalist and a wuss - I can't work out what she sees in him.Somewhat surprisingly, together they attempt to crack a complicated fraud concerning car loans. When the car they have "bought" goes missing and later turns up with a lot of drugs in the boot, hell breaks loose and Richard ends up in prison. Before Kate can get Richard out of prison, she gets a taste of the gritty reality of life for the poor and powerless in Britain. Try this one - you won't be disappointed.

Crack Down is the 4th of the Kate Brannigan books I have read and by far the best. So many twists and turns, you never quite know what to expect. If you have read any of the other books starring Brannigan, you will not be disappointed. Val McDermid continues to entertain, thrill, excite and enchant with this wonderful tale of intrigue. Definitely the best yet.

Before she wrote her magnificent books like "Place of an Execution" and "Distant Echo",Val Mcdermid was learning her trade with PI novels.This is a very solid story,interesting and witty,with well drawn characters. Even so,I much prefer her later books and nowdays never miss any of her books.
