Spark Out

Big Mo is about to expand the family business - into armed robbery 

Spark Out is a gritty gangland thriller awarded a Chill With A Book award with readers describing it as "A Fantastic Read","Compelling" and with an "Unexpected Twist".

Maurice 'Big Mo' Dolan is prone to headaches and there is one main cause: family. Eldest son Chuck, 7, needs toughening up, wife Beryl is too lenient, his career-criminal father has no respect for him and his younger brother Clive is about to join the army.

There is light at the end of the tunnel, though. With Margaret Thatcher’s government backing initiative and suggesting people get ‘on their bikes’ to find work, Mo believes it is the perfect time to take his crime business to a new level. He believes things can only get better, but with the Falklands War just around the corner they are about to become a whole lot worse.

The second book in the Boxer Boys series, a prequel to Crossing The Whitewash, Spark Out will suit lovers of Martina Cole, Mark Billingham, Stuart MacBride and Ian Rankin
