Corruption at the highest levels in European police forces and political hierarchies call for the ISP’s black ops skills to combat the growing global menace of drugs on city streets.
A Jack Calder Novel.
KILLER CITY Jack Calder Crime Series #4 eBook Seumas Gallacher
A gaffer and his mate find a grim discovery in a resident’s wheelie bin and the case makes headline news. Is it a coincidence where the body was found and how much trouble is Alex really in? His father thinks ‘the lad’s a walking saint,’ so it’s hard to believe Alex would have done anything remotely close to murder. If the case does indeed involve a nest of snakes, the ones Jack Calder’s smelling are getting stinkier by the minute.A mixture of Scots, Irish and English makes this a veritable cocktail of a case where a former SAS officer and his colleagues attempt to clean up the drug trade mob. As Detective Shirley Rice goes missing and heavies try to attack Bob Granger the tension rises a few more notches. Calder must go undercover under an assumed name to assess if any ‘special’ shipments are on the rise and not only that, there seems to be a flourishing trade in the local club where Detective Rice was last seen.
Gallacher has an almost journalistic writing style which is hard to put down. So I settled in for the evening to read this book unaware that the tight plot and more-than-generous tension would keep me occupied until the early hours. The scandals and mysteries Calder is involved in make you feel like you’re part of the plot and the way Gallacher uses his knowledge and background to create the characters is spot on. There is certainly no honor among thieves and top brass is very quickly beginning to look like top farce.
What I liked about the story was the way each chapter sent me on a rampage to ensure my back door was locked and windows shuttered before I could read any more. It was like expecting a hurricane, only worse. Although I’m new to Gallacher’s books, I’ve added Killer City to my library of suspense novels because the interweaving plots are skillfully crafted and provide good depth to the mystery. What appears to start out as a fairly straightforward story very quickly becomes a ton of twists I wasn’t expecting.

KILLER CITY Jack Calder Crime Series #4 eBook Seumas Gallacher Reviews
When an old SAS colleague's son is framed for a brutal murder, the members of International Security Partners (ISP) begin to search for the real killer. But when the son himself is murdered in prison while awaiting trial, ISP joins forces with local and international police forces to take on the drug lords who ordered the hit.
In Killer City, the fourth of Scottish author Seumas Gallacher's Jack Calder thrillers, the ISP team of former British Special Air Service commandoes and elite police officers take on the Lithuanian mob that provides much of the illegal drugs flooding the United Kingdom. The action plot ranges from Eastern Europe, to the Mediterranean, to Spain, and back to the British Isles.
Killer City has a unique dual quality to it. The first half of the novel reads much like a police procedural, with Calder and his colleagues helping the police investigate then take down local drug distributors. However, when the real power behind the illicit trade remains beyond the reach of local law enforcement, the ISP team uses their special skills in covert operations to infiltrate Lithuania and take direct action against the mob and the corrupt officials who support them.
A definite chose for those enjoy thrillers with international action.
Of the perhaps 2 dozen "free" books I've read during the past year or two, this is THE most satisfying. First off (no small thing these days of rampant, e-book self-publishing), the formatting seemed proper-and-consistent, and the editing and proofing seemed very good, too. That can only enhance the pleasure of reading any book.
More important, though, it's a well-plotted story with engaging characters. When I got to the end, I felt fully satisfied about the time I'd committed to reading it.
Of course, the point of offering a "free" book these days is to enhance sales. More often than not, however, I'm NOT interested in reading any other books that the "freebie" author may have written. But this is one time when I look forward to actually paying to read other novels by this author. (I just hope this "freebie" wasn't his ONLY "good one" . . smile) By the way, as I was reading this, I was thinking how much more satisfying the story was than the past couple of Jack Reacher novels I've. Then again, how difficult it must be to keep churning out books about the same character, making each one suspenseful, appealing and satisfying. I'm looking forward to seeing if Lewis is able to do so with this "Jack Calder" crime series . .. AND if the Reacher novels can once again come alive?!
Seumas Gallacher serves up exactly what his fans expect from the Jack Calder series Harsh justice served up by Calder's group of security professionals against crime lords and corrupt officials who are preying on innocent individuals and society at large.
Look elsewhere if you want a lot of nuance and romantic subplots and suspense along the lines of Oh, no, will the bad guys win? But if you want a plot full of confidence that Jack and company will ultimately crush the predators, you'll enjoy watching them strategize and move in for the kill.
My favorite part was Bert Wall (sorry if I misspelled, I listened to the book using Text-to-Speech) attempting to escape on a fishing vacation. Futile, of course. But I liked the way Gallacher sketched those scenes from Bert's viewpoint.
A gaffer and his mate find a grim discovery in a resident’s wheelie bin and the case makes headline news. Is it a coincidence where the body was found and how much trouble is Alex really in? His father thinks ‘the lad’s a walking saint,’ so it’s hard to believe Alex would have done anything remotely close to murder. If the case does indeed involve a nest of snakes, the ones Jack Calder’s smelling are getting stinkier by the minute.
A mixture of Scots, Irish and English makes this a veritable cocktail of a case where a former SAS officer and his colleagues attempt to clean up the drug trade mob. As Detective Shirley Rice goes missing and heavies try to attack Bob Granger the tension rises a few more notches. Calder must go undercover under an assumed name to assess if any ‘special’ shipments are on the rise and not only that, there seems to be a flourishing trade in the local club where Detective Rice was last seen.
Gallacher has an almost journalistic writing style which is hard to put down. So I settled in for the evening to read this book unaware that the tight plot and more-than-generous tension would keep me occupied until the early hours. The scandals and mysteries Calder is involved in make you feel like you’re part of the plot and the way Gallacher uses his knowledge and background to create the characters is spot on. There is certainly no honor among thieves and top brass is very quickly beginning to look like top farce.
What I liked about the story was the way each chapter sent me on a rampage to ensure my back door was locked and windows shuttered before I could read any more. It was like expecting a hurricane, only worse. Although I’m new to Gallacher’s books, I’ve added Killer City to my library of suspense novels because the interweaving plots are skillfully crafted and provide good depth to the mystery. What appears to start out as a fairly straightforward story very quickly becomes a ton of twists I wasn’t expecting.
