Not Quite Blackmail Material (The Backdoor Angels) Kindle Edition

5.0 out of 5 stars 1 rating

The trail of an illegal android leads to a Russian mafia boss living on the ‘Costa del Crime’. Mar is invited to his cocktail party. Roland gatecrashes. Neither of them is asked to stay – or to leave.

‘For future reference, that means I’m scared.’

Roland doesn’t understand why a known gangster would want to cooperate with either a junior police officer or a high-flying prosecutor still on the way up, and Mar isn’t sure why Roland’s boss chose him, rather than a ‘real cop’, to accompany her on the mission – or why he finally volunteered.

Both questions and several others will be answered when the Russian gets bored with the adult party games and the ginger-haired young man with the scary eyes, visiting from the Superior Planets Company HQ on the Moon, turns even nastier.

‘The knife’s sticking in my back,’ Mar said. ‘I can feel it starting to bleed.’

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

When Matthew Kipwell watched the moon landings in July 1969, he assumed that by the time he grew up, the place would be dotted with shiny moonbases. What happened?

After a few years working in Africa, a career as a programmer and systems analyst and another as a technical translator, he gave up waiting for NASA and the world’s richest men to take us back there and decided to imagine what it might be like ...

The Backdoor Angels series is about exile, the struggle for justice, and unrequited love. So far.

    If you have the chance to read this one early on in the series, I'd recommend that you do. This explains a lot about the relationship between Roland and Mar.

    Lots of action, lots of Roland being Roland and enough twists and turns to keep things interesting.
