´The wrong son had died and nothing and no one would ever be able to swag his mind on that matter´.
A violent story of gangland conflicts and broken humans, Dishonour by Kerry Kaya published by Boldwood Books is throwing the reader from the first line into a violent world. A world where death and violence are the rule of the day, including within the same family.
When the favourite son, Dylan was killed in terrible circumstances, his brother Damien is keen to find the truth about the circumstances surrouding his death, no matter what, even if it may include forging alliances with the people he may have to hate and distrust first. Navigating the complex gangland structures and the dishonour between thieves,
This book is not for the faint of heart, either in terms of the story, descriptions of different situations and language. The characters are rough and violent, unable to control their feelings and with no sense of loyalty of honour. I was particularly impressed by the ways in which the characters evoluate towards the story, although I may have expected more dialogues and engagement between them other than from the back off voice of the storyteller.
Dishonour is a well planned gangland thriller, with many violent unexpected turns and a very rough view of life. With a high potential of a movie picture, it opens the doors and eyes to a world rarely opening to the outside world.
Rating: 3.5 stars
