#Reveiw Crucial Black (Relic Black #2) by Colin Garrow
Crucial Black
A brace of corpses. A bone-crunching machine. A new recruit.
Now employed by an Inverness organised crime gang, former petty thief Relic Black is teamed up with hitman Ali McKay, the man he almost killed a few weeks earlier. As the team tidy up the loose ends after the shooting, gang member and bent cop DI McKenzie must investigate the disappearance of two people, knowing Relic and Ali have already disposed of the bodies.
Meanwhile, Rebecca’s unpopular colleague DI Swinney, suspects her of involvement in the shooting. Knowing one of the bodies currently taking up space in the mortuary remains anonymous, he discovers the man’s identity. Can Swinney uncover the truth, dig the dirt on McKenzie and regain his former status with the DCI, or will the gang step in to stop him?
Warning – strong language and adult situations throughout.
Crucial Black is book #2 in the Relic Black Thriller series set in Inverness, Scotland.
NB book #2 is not a standalone – the series must be read in order.

REVIEW
Our unlikely loveable villain Relic Black is back on the mean streets of Inverness and this time he is newly employed by the local crime gang. He may have a job but it’s far from normal especially when his first job involves disposing of bodies in a meat grinder!
I love the grittiness and darkness of this book as well as delving into the rough Scottish accent of that area. We are treated to violence and also some entertainment along the way making this a fast paced read.
I can only wonder what will be in store for our loveable rogue next!
