It's obvious Broadfoot is a fan of thriller novels and action movies both stylish and gritty. But to me, both author and protagonist are very much their own man, each inhabiting a niche carved solely by and for themselves, which is a pretty damn special thing. In a world of wannabes and try-hards, Neil Broadfoot and Connor Fraser are the real deal.

Synopsis

Book 4: Connor Fraser

She was lying in the road when he found her, crumpled and broken, the car that hit her screaming away from the scene in haze of tyre smoke and exhaust fumes...

Jennifer MacKenzie being hit by a car was a tragic accident. Or so it seemed. Until Connor is summoned to a meeting his girlfriend's dad, Duncan McKenzie. MacKenzie claims that Jen's accident was actually a message intended for him - and a way to force him to kill his trusted lieutenant Paulie King, who has now mysteriously disappeared.

His request to Connor is simple. Find Paulie and the men who hurt his daughter. Do whatever it takes.

As an all-out gang war threatens to explode across Central Scotland, Connor begins a journey that forces him to confront some uncomfortable truths about his girlfriend and the family he is connected to through her. But Connor is also driven by a vow - to find Paulie. And when he does, no quarter will be given.

Reviews

The latest instalment in Broadfoot's breath-taking series. Connor is back and, to coin the phrase, this time it's (definitely) personal. As the woman he loves fights for her life in a hospital bed, Connor must figure out who hurt her, why, and where ultimate responsibility lies. Tied in with another brutal locked-room murder mystery, the pace starts at a sprint and only gets faster. This is an authentic action thriller that packs genuine emotional punch. Where Bond meets Bosch: 5 fabulous stars.
Helen Fields
This book went up another level. At times, very dark and downright unpleasant, what starts off as a simple hit and run, soon degenerates into complex murders with murky links to the past. Just who is supporting who and where loyalties really lie underpins the whole story and makes for a 100 mph story.

About the author

Neil Broadfoot

Neil Broadfoot worked as a journalist for 15 years at both national and local newspapers, including The ScotsmanScotland on Sunday and the Evening News, covering some of the biggest stories of the day.

Falling Fast, which was shortlisted for the Dundee International Book Prize, is the first in the Edinburgh-set McGregor and Drummond series of thrillers.

His new Stirling-set series, which begins with **_No Man's Land _**and features close protection expert Connor Fraser, has been hailed as "tense, fast moving and bloody" and "atmospheric, twisty and explosive" with a "complex cast of characters and a compelling hero". No Man's Land was longlisted for the 2019 McIlvanney Award.

As a father of two girls, Neil finds himself regularly outnumbered in his own home. He is also one of the Four Blokes In Search of a Plot, a quartet of crime writers who live write a story based on suggestions from the audience. The Four Blokes have appeared in England, Spain and Scotland, including at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival.

"Neil should be better known and more widely read." - Ian Rankin
