The Hammer





 The Hammer By R.J.Mitchell
Genre:- Crime Fiction
Pages:- 388
Publisher:- Matthew James Publishing
Blurb:- After escaping the clutches of a Glasgow drug lord nicknamed 'The Widowmaker', the newly promoted Detective Constable Thoroughgood heads for Manchester.  The northern powerhouse is home to two rival gangs: 'The Maine Men' and 'The Devils'.  When a drug deal goes wrong and Thoroughgood fails to stop it, a full-scale turf war is ready to take over Manchester - a city split into red and blue halves.
 Seconded into an undercover Greater Manchester Police unit under the command of the legendary DCI Matty Ferguson, Thoroughgood soon finds that the drugs war is not the only battle being fought in the city. 'The Hammer' takes Thoroughgood out of the character's typical Scottish stamping grounds with 1990's Manchester and a nightmare at the Theatre of Dreams forming the perfect backdrop for Mitchell's brand of gritty, high-octane crime writing. My star rate for this book is 4 stars
Book #6 in the DS Thoroughgood Series.
Thank You to Kelly @lovebookstours @mj.publishing @spitfire_07 #gifted #adprproduct for a copy of this book.
My Review:-  Even if you haven't read the other books in the series you will soon get the understanding of the story as it draws you in. There is so much going on that you'll not want to put this book down. DC Thoroughgood is undercover with Manchester Police so he can get to know the local rival drug gangs, but soon it becomes a turf war and it's not just with the gangs he's in the middle of it with. You won't be disappointed with the ending of this book, and it will leave you wanting more
