The Violin Man's Legacy 

by Seumas Gallacher

Description

Thriller with bloody twists and turns as ruthless killers meet their match in a former SAS hit squad.

Jack Calder is an ex-SAS soldier working with former colleagues at ISP, a specialist security firm. He is sent to investigate a murderous diamond heist in Holland, but swiftly learns that there is a very strong Far East connection. He then travels to Hong Kong where he meets the glamorous chief of ISP's local bureau, May-Ling.

Together they begin to unravel a complex web of corruption. The twin spiders at the centre of this web are the Chan brothers, leaders of one of Hong Kong's most ruthless and powerful triad gangs.

The trail of death and mayhem coils across Europe, Hong Kong and South America until all the scores are settled.

Review

By 

Faye M. Tollison

Seumas Gallacher is a great writer who brings his characters alive. He knows how to develop a plot to hold your interest. I love to literally fly away on his imagination to a land of story-telling like no other. You can't go wrong with this book or any book he has written. I highly recommend this book and this author.

About the author

Seumas Gallacher was born in the cradle of the Govan shipyards in Glasgow in the so-called "bad old days" which were in reality the greatest of days, where everybody was a real character of note.

An early career as a trainee Scottish banker led to a spell in London, where his pretence to be a missionary converting the English locals fell on deaf ears.

Escape to the Far East in 1980 opened up access to cultures and societies on a global scale, eventually bringing the realisation that the world is quite simply one large extended village.

The lifelong desire to write has resulted in The Violin Man's Legacy, the first in th Jack Calder series.

Seumas says that finishing that novel was one of the best feelings he has ever experienced in a life full of rich emotions.

Vengeance Wears Black, the second book in the Jack Calder series, was released in July 2012.

Review

By Melissa

Mr. Gallacher's 'Guide', may be to absolutely nothing, but it will certainly lead you somewhere. That somewhere may very well be to find a tissue to mop up the tea you just snorted right out of your nose, but it's definitely somewhere! Mr. Gallacher is an extraordinarily entertaining and funny writer with a distinct penchant for bringing out giggles, guffaws, and outright tears-running-down-your-cheeks positively painful gales of laughter.

"Vengeance Wears Black" by Seumas Gallacher

Vengeance Wears Black

by Seumas Gallacher

Description

Jack Calder and his former SAS colleagues at ISP, a specialist security firm, are saved from certain death when an ex-Gurkha is killed smothering a deadly grenade thrown into a lunchtime Chinese restaurant in the West End of London. They learn that murderous turf wars are raging between Asian Triads and Eastern European mobsters vying for control of international fiefdoms of drug smuggling, people trafficking, prostitution and money laundering.

An unexpected visit from the highest levels of international law enforcement offers Jack and the ISP team a means to use their black operations skills to wreak a ruthless retaliation against the drug lords.

Unlikely partners emerge in their onslaught against the gangs as the warring criminal factions threaten an unholy alliance to repel them. The pursuit spins across Europe, Turkey and North Africa before a final reckoning.

Review

By O. G. Tomes

Vengeance Wears Black exudes pure Seumas Gallacher at his best! Travel the globe with Jack Calder in his world of International Security! A direct and to the point style of writing beguiles you as the plot is layered. Classic, fast paced, action that allows you to rub elbows with Interpol, the ISP and syndicated crimes such as human trafficking. Will Jack Calder save the girl? A plot that keeps you locked in until you are finished. Only to leave you with this...

If the first two books of this series are anything 'to go buy'.... How can we wait for #3! Don't stop now Seumas, I am hooked on the 'Jack Calder Novel' series!
