American Crow is a fast-paced thriller, following the exploits of hard-man London tracer, Sibelius Blake, a guy who finds people and a whole heap of trouble with it.

In this, the inaugural mystery of the new 'Missing Series’, the street-wise detective finds himself on a quest to the U.S in the search for wayward British teenager, Olivia Deacon - a girl who looks uncannily like the daughter he's only just lost.

And maybe she’s just fallen in with the wrong company at the wrong time, and that’s enough to get her killed? And maybe Blake will have to go through his toughest challenge yet, in order to bring her back safely to her father, if he is who he seems.

In the dark, brooding mountains of Eastern Kentucky, the private detective will soon find out, will soon discover if he’s still got what it takes to wrap up a difficult case. But along the way he may have to undertake a journey of painful redemption in order to come out of the other side with his sanity intact.

And no one, but no one, stands in the way of Lyle Corrigan, a ruthless mining tycoon who has an appetite for destruction, a lust for power, and a voracious hunger for innocent young girls, who may have wandered unwittingly, into his dark domain...

American Crow is an 'International Crime & Mystery' bestseller and an e-thriller book of the month.

This is the first crime novel I've read and liked!

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 2 dicembre 2013

Acquisto verificato

Jack Lacey gained my interest in the first couple of pages of this novel. How could he not? Any non-Australian author who gives Australia a mention within the first few pages deserves that attention. Yes. I’m an Aussie.

But then the real story unfolded.

From the tragic scene in the water at the beginning of the book, to the moments of sadness, depression and the urgency of the search that came with a new case, one which Blake did not want to take on but which turned out to be his saviour in the end, this story turned out to be even better than I thought it would be.

Written in first person, and written extremely well, I felt every bit of pain, tasted every morsel of food and lost myself completely in this novel. It moved along at a perfect pace with the perfect amount of evocativeness. I’m not a crime thriller reader, in fact I swore I’d never read another crime story again. I used to find them tedious and mind-numbing because of the over-use of descriptive words but I’m glad I read American Crow.

Jack Lacey’s writing style is impressive. He has a knack of stringing words together which makes reading his work interesting and exciting. I truly enjoyed American Crow so much so that I’m actually planning to re-read it at a later date.
I don’t have any problems in recommending this novel to any lover of crime books. In fact, even if you’re not into the crime thriller stories, I think you’d enjoy this one anyway. I did.

I look forward to reading more of Jack Lacey’s work.

Original hardboiled thriller...

Recensito in Francia il 10 gennaio 2014

Acquisto verificato

This is not my usual choice of genre, but this was a fast-paced thriller that I really couldn't put down. Blake, an ex-punk turned private detective, makes for an interesting and original lead character who has to undergo a harrowing road-trip of redemption in order to succeed! Look forward to reading the next Monsieur Lacey...

So great I thought it was real!

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 8 novembre 2013

This is no ordinary thriller, I was captivated from the beginning, loved the style, the pace, the main character and his escapades along his road-trip case. I was thoroughly engaged throughout, then there was a part of the book that hit me hard, there was a part I was not expecting and it really grabbed me, so much so that I couldn't stop thinking about it all day at work, like what I had read was completely real, I was so hit by what happened I kept having to remind myself that it wasn't real!

A truly enjoyable read and really refreshing too. Refreshing because there were some very cool unexpected turns, and I kept thinking throughout that this could easily be converted into a great film... a film unlike other thrillers whereby the protagonist does thing that you don't ordinarily see in similar films, American Crow really has somethinng different/unique, something with real charm.

Hugely recommend if you are looking a read that captivates, draws you in deep, and then leaves you very satisfied at the end, happy with the conclusion, but still wanting just that little bit more.

American Crow, high-octane plot

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 19 dicembre 2013

Acquisto verificato

To paraphrase the late great Elmore Leonard: a novelist should cut out the parts that readers skip over. This is excellent advice, advice which Jack Lacey, author of American Crow, seems to have taken to heart. The pacing of this novel is frenetic, the scenes chock full of action.

American Crow begins with our hero Sibelius Blake vacationing on a beach in France with his seventeen year old daughter. A freak accident occurs, and the daughter dies, rendering Blake unfit to continue his line of work: finding people who no other bounty hunter or private investigator can (or will) find. But after a brief fallow period, Blake, a tattooed, rough-around-the-edges Londoner, takes a case in America. His mission: locate an eighteen year old girl named Olivia. Sounds easy enough, but there are, of course, a multitude of complications. For starters, Blake is wanted by the authorities in the U.S., so he has to sneak into the border via Canada to get to Minnesota, where Olivia was last seen. Once Blake makes it to Minnesota, he follows up some leads and soon discovers that Olivia has joined a local activist group. This group has gone down to the Cumberland Mountains in Kentucky to protest a very large and very powerful mining company, the head of which is a dangerous man named Corrigan. That, as they say, is when the fun starts. No spoilers, but Blake runs into trouble at practically every turn, and his troubles keep the reader entertained (and suspended) until the last page.

I did have one or two criticisms of the book, however. One, the author repeatedly uses. . . (dot, dot, dot) This becomes noticeable almost after the first chapter, and every time it takes the reader out of the story a little. Two, the dialogue of the Southern characters does not, in many places, ring true. Born and raised in North Carolina, perhaps I'm just hyper-aware of Southern speech patterns, and how different they can be from one state to the next, one town to the next. That said, I found not just some of the dialogue but some of the portrayals of Southern characters, well, caricature-esque.

Bottom line though, Sibelius Blake is an interesting lead character, and there is a cinematic quality to Lacey's narrative that is addictive. Too, I think the author's background as a journalist is a real asset as the writing is taut, the level of detail spot-on. I recommend American Crow, especially to those hooked on the Jack Reacher series, or those can't pass up a lightening-fast plot with solid prose.

Crow vs Child

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 24 aprile 2014

Acquisto verificato

Whilst unashamedly endebted to the work of Lee Child and his novels featuring the iconic character of Jack Reacher, this is most definitely the work of one author seeking to get his workout in the bigger world with his uniqueness.

Whilst Child is also an English author, he is one who has very much become an Americanized author with Reacher going from state to state like Child is touring the nation. From coast to coast, valley to mountains; Reacher overcomes all comers due to his immense size and even bigger intelligence.

Blake in contrast is a battered investigator suffering from the trauma of the death of a family member. Vowing to finding missing people as a promise to the dearly departed, he is coaxed into one last job which means going back to America. A country where a warrant remains for his arrest.

Arriving in a snowy Canada and then ushered into the USA by being smuggled in the underbelly of a lorry. Blake encounters many characters in search of a missing girl which brings it all too close to home for our hero. The brilliance of Blake is that he still maintains an everyman quality, having to think on his feet in some tough situations; whereas Reacher is the sort of guy who is the smartest guy in the room, and will act upon any mistakes made by his enemies.

Lacey excels in the briskness and pacing of the novel. From exposition to dialogue to set pieces, Lacey has a good eye for detail and painting an effective picture of the world Blake inhabits whilst still doing a good job of keeping Blake as the fish out of water protagonist, borrowing a trope from traditional crime fiction in that Blake is like us the reader sometimes noticing things for the first time; we share his surprise and shock in response to events.

Also embedded by Lacey is an environmental sub-plot into the narrative with an evil mining tyrant who is ripping the heart of the Kentucky mountains so as well as moral implications to the characters there are also wider social leanings to impact the people.

American Crow is a page turner that I digested in three sittings, at times enthralling and at times funny, Lacey has created a character in Sibelius Blake this reviewer cannot wait to read more of.
