Fiction. Suspense. Thriller. Jack Flynn's Blood in the Water is an edge-of-the-seat ride in a roller coaster, action-packed thriller with international terrorism at its core and family at its heart. Boston is in the grip of the coldest winter on record, but in its criminal underworld the temperature is rising. Harbor chief Cormack O'Connell has lived his life close to the wire - above and below the law. He knows every movement on his waterfront, and that's why someone wants him out of the way, fast. Homeland security agent Kit Steele is committed to avenge terrorism. Also known as The Hunter, she's got her eye on the prize. This time it's personal, and she has nothing left to lose. Her prey is Vincente Carpio, one of the world's most dangerous criminals. He is clever, calculating and he's biding his time. Diamond O'Connell is a daughter, a lover and a fighter. She's seen things most nineteen-year-old girls couldn't even begin to imagine. And she's about to become a pawn in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Everyone has their part to play, but now it seems that there are much darker, far-reaching forces at work which look to be preparing for the international stage.… (plus d'informations)

Wow this book was good! I’ve been reading so many 400 pages that when I first opened it I was starting to feel nervous about digging in but Jack Flynn delivered!!!

Cormack O’Connell is the harbor Chief in Boston, he has his finger on the pulse of every movement on his harbor, legal and otherwise. His tights control ensures order- organized crime stays managed and the law turns a blind eye. If anyone needs anything through the harbor, they first need Mack’s approval.
Kit Steele, aka The Hunter- homeland security agent has a personally vendetta to capture serial killer and international terrorist Vincent Carpio.
Diamond O’Connell is Mack’s 19 year old daughter, and only family. She’s street smart and savvy- about to embark on adult life where the possibilities are endless.
But this a game of cat and mouse- and Diamond is the mouse between many cats.

I loved this story and I’m eager to read more by Flynn. Action packed at its finest, he did such an amazing job of introducing so many different characters- some seemingly irrelevant- but everyone has their part to play. Everything came together with finesse for an explosive finale which did not disappoint. There were some deep rooted evils and twists that I didn’t see coming, and I was hooked from page 1.
FBI agent meet the criminal underworld - to strike deals and take out the common enemy. With evils coming from the inside to imports from international terrorist groups- everyone had their best interests at heart, loyalties were bought and swapped on a whim, gang wars for control of the harbor- this really had it all and I loved the main characters Cormack and Kit, two unlikely allies in this intense crime thriller.

A big thanks to @minotaur_books for the review copy #partner

Blood in the Water – Who are the good guys?

Jack Flynn has written an excellent thriller that, while it does include the FBI, the Irish mafia of Boston are not screaming in your face for once. Ok one of the lead characters is of Irish extraction, but he is not an Irish mafioso which makes a pleasant change.

Harbour chief, Cormack O’Connell has lived on both sides of the law, as anyone who has worked or organised longshore men and other dock workers all their life. He knows everything that is happening in the harbour and what is going through the port. He often receives his tribute from various sources. Unfortunately, there is someone who no longer wants to pay a tribute while at the same time take control of the harbour and then move illegal drugs through the port.

Cormack’s daughter, Diamond is a dangerous lady to know, she is both a lover and a fighter, but at the same time very much her own woman. While having seen many things most nineteen year olds will never see in a lifetime. She is strong minded and knows what she wants, but is she prepared to become a pawn in a larger more dangerous game of cat and mouse?

Agent Kit Steele has managed to hunt her prey down, and Vincente Carpio is her prisoner, whether she can keep him locked up is a different matter. Carpio besides having ice in his veins is not afraid to kill, as the trail of dead bodies behind him proves. Can she get him to court without the cartel breaking him out? It does not help her lover also happens to be O’Connell is a criminal.

With a war waging along the harbour front, nobody is going to be safe, and the O’Connell family are front and centre. Cormack recognising that if he loses this war, he will not be put into retirement but into a cemetery plot. He will do whatever it takes to win this war, but it might cost him more than he wants.

An exciting and intense thriller that will keep you on edge throughout, especially when you realise that O’Connell is facing a foe that has no boundaries or depths that they are willing to reach. This really is a case of wanting to stay out of the water, as it is the water that could be the death of them. ( )
