4.1 out of 5 stars 32 ratings

How can you face the future when you can’t escape the past? The murder of a police detective on the rundown Westmount Estate has far-reaching repercussions for the investigating team and their number one suspect, crime boss Harry Roman. Suspended from duty following a previous case, Detective Sergeant Neil Fuller is viewed with suspicion by colleagues and villains alike. He must uncover the truth surrounding the murder without compromising his own precarious position. His association with Harry Roman’s organisation threatens both his career and his life but creates a unique opportunity for those seeking to manipulate him for their own benefit. Detective Constable Zoe Harte proves Fuller’s unlikely ally when she makes a rash decision and chooses loyalty over duty. Unstable and reckless, her obsessive pursuit of a menacing stalker collides head on with Fuller’s investigation – with deadly consequences. Meanwhile nine-year-old Sam awaits his father’s return. He’s been entrusted with an explosive secret and the fuse is about to be lit...

    Rather exciting to read the first book in a series, I always think! And we are straight into the action with Fuller and Harte.

    Neil Fuller is a police officer who grew up in the rough Westmount estate. He knows how things work there, and he is always being pulled in different directions because of it. What is his connection to crime boss Harry Roman?

    Zoe Harte is also a police officer but she has been damaged (PTSD?) by a previous case gone wrong that haunts her and affects how she works, now. She has got Neil Fuller's back though and I like how vulnerable and yet how strong she is.

    These two are colleagues but not partners and their uneasy truce makes for interesting reading.

    I did love the descriptions of some of the Westmount residents. The author has a way of describing people which makes visualisations easy to do.

    All in all, I was a little overwhelmed with the information provided and I found myself wanting to know about those kids! Those little kids broke my heart because I can see them so clearly.

    I am hoping that book 2 will be a bit of continuation of this book, to tie up some loose ends.

    Looking forward to reading it.

    4 stars from me.

    This is a fabulous gangland crime novel, one of the best I’ve ever read. It’s a story that burrows under your skin, where you can easily visualise the setting, salty descriptions down to the sounds and smells. For me, there was so much to feed the imagination, unique turns of phrase, plenty of dialogue and enough action to tease out the plot. I can also see this as a screenplay.

    I particularly enjoyed the character layering — it’s what every reader loves. DC Zoe Harte, is a natural-born watcher, listening and waiting. Although burdened with her demons she carries the hallmarks of a brilliant investigative brain. DS Neil Fuller has been suspended from operational duties while the Dept of Professional Standards debate his role in the death of a suspect. He is caught up in a tough case and has no choice but to include Zoe.

    Add Harry gangster-about-town Roman and DCI Charlie Willard and I know the conversation is going to be good. Throw in a little boy and his sister skipping school and the heartstrings are pulled with a solid layer of emotion.

    Descriptions such as ‘dressings and intubation equipment gathered like yesterday’s chip shop wrappers’ put you right there.

    BA Morton is such a skilled writer; I always watch out for all her books. I am really looking forward to the next.

    Secrets and corruption abound in the beginning book of the series. In the beginning, it pulls you in by introducing you to DC Zoe Hart who seems to have lost some control and then DS Neil Fuller who has his own demons to hide. There is a good pace to the story and it is filled with plenty of suspense. I voluntarily reviewed an advance readers copy of this book.

    THE FAVOUR BANK (Detectives Fuller & Harte #1) is a gritty Newcastle Crime Thriller, the first in a new series, by BA Morton. This is a gripping, dark story which had me from the start.

    The novel is set in Newcastle where DS Neil Fuller and DC Zoe Harte patrol the streets in and around the rough Westmount estate.

    DS Neil Fuller is suspended from duty when he went off with another officer unofficially to a site resulting in the officer being killed and Fuller was shot. With the help of his colleague DC. Zoe Harte, he survives and is determined to find the killer. The murder of a police detective on the rundown Westmount Estate has far-reaching repercussions for the investigating team and their number one suspect, crime boss Harry Roman.

    DS Neil Fuller is treated with suspicion by his colleagues and villains alike. He must uncover the truth surrounding the murder without compromising his own position. His association with Harry Roman’s organization threatens both his career and his life.

    The relationship between DS Neil Fuller and DC Zoe Harte, an unmatched pair, form an unlikely association but both look out for each other. She is being pursued by a frightening stalker while he is investigating the murder of local crime boss Harry Roman.

    DC Zoe Harte makes an impulsive decision when she decides to pursuit a threatening stalker which ends up interfering with Fuller’s investigation… with deadly consequences.

    This is a well written crime thriller with relatable characters, vivid descriptive setting, non-stop action and lots of twists and turns to hold one’s attention. This is a perfectly paced, tension filled novel that will keep you totally absorbed right to the end.

    Many thanks to the author and The Book Club Reviewer Request Group (FB) for my digital copy.

    Many thanks to the author for the digital copy of this British Crime Fiction. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

    A police detective has been murdered. The prime suspect is Harry Roman, a well-known crime boss. DS Neil Fuller has an association with Roman, so investigating the murder can mean the end of his career ...or his life.

    DC Zoe Harte is a terrific investigator, although she has her own demons to fight. DS Fuller has been suspended from duty due to a question about the death of a suspect. Zoe is loyal almost to a fault .. but Fuller has no choice but to include her in his clandestine investigation.

    There are good cops and there are bad cops and a lack of trust with both. So who can Fuller and Hart trust? And who will survive?

    This crime fiction is well-paced, the plot is tight, and the action is practically non-stop. There are twists and turns that lead to an explosive conclusion. Throw in a young boy and his even younger sister and it's an emotional overload. The characters are multi-layered and solidly drawn amid the swirling suspense.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fast, dark and gritty.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 12, 2021
    One of my pet hates is when a writer starts off with a big information dump, to educate their readers on all the background information they're going to need to follow the story. It can work, some writers are better than others at that sort of thing, but it does tend to get things off to a slow start.

    And, as Morton demonstrates in 'The Favour Bank', it's not necessary!

    There's no info dump and no slow start. The reader is dropped right into it. The action is already happening, and you just have to pick up the mental pace and move with it - because it doesn't slow down much!

    There is some pretty important background information, but it's woven smoothly into the narrative. Following the characters through the dark, grimy streets of a big city in winter (Newcastle, but it could be a lot of other places) takes you to the information you need, just as they dig out the information they need.

    It's all very deftly done, and spot on for pace, character, atmosphere and plot twists. There were some ends left hanging loose that I would have liked to have cleared up - but perhaps they're being held in reserve for a sequel? We can only hope so!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 6, 2021
    I found this to be a little dark for my taste, with a certain amount of violence, certainly grittier than my usual choice of reading matter, so I feel I can only give it four stars - but I suspect people who normally read in that genre will rate it higher, the quality of writing would certainly justify that.
    The story drops the reader into the dark underworld of Geordieland, without being too specific about geographical details, and gives us some well-developed complex characters, with backstories that are strongly hinted at early on, but with details that are revealed slowly and skillfully. Other sources label it as the first of a series, using the two main characters - and presumably some of the others as well - and I will be looking out for the sequel(s)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Cracking tale
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 3, 2021
    I zipped through this cracking crime novel in a day because it was so good and well written. Neil Fuller, a detective sergeant is caught up in a tough case involving the murder of a mob boss, Harry Roman. He's is still mistrusted from events of a previous case that left him under suspicion, so he is left to rely on Zoe, a sharp, smart detective constable who is unfortunately caught up with her own demons and is teetering on the edge of her sanity. Neil isn't happy to get her involved, but she doesn't leave him any choice.

    This is a perfectly paced, tension filled novel that will keep you totally absorbed and looking forward to the next one. It has a great and authentic flavour of Newcastle as well as wit and humour that adds to its appeal. I know I can't wait for the next one and I hope it isn't long before it appears.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 11, 2021
    This was a riveting read, straight into the action and none stop till the end. As always from B A Morton all of the characters have fully rounded backstories drip fed throughout the suspenseful and clever story.

    Dark and gritty but not insensitive (a bit like the hero Fuller) written so descriptively it’s almost visual and full of unexpected twists I loved it

    I thoroughly enjoyed this well plotted Tyneside crime thriller. The two main detectives, Fuller and Harte are a good foil for each other with complex motivations, and amid the gritty tale, there are some funny moments.' 5 stars from me and I'll be watching out for the next one in the series.
