I have just finished the insanely addictive No Mercy.

It has all the hallmarks - riveting, twisty-turny plotting and a wonderful cast of characters - of a @neillancaster66.bsky.social book, but is apparently by some Max Connor chap.

Either way, it is sensational. I cannot recommend it enough.

Neil Lancaster @neillancaster66.bsky.social · Jun 5

Out today !!

Max would be delighted if you'd buy this !

So would I

Peggy's owner must be a real opportunist to try and hijack this touching scene to promote Max Connor's (aka ME) new book

Yep .. I am that shallow

Finishing this fabulous book is a bitter sweet moment for me

The book is, of course, brilliant as I'd expect from my late friend Denzil Meyrick

A rapid paced, tense, gripping crime thriller

But I can't help feel sad that it's the last book of his I'll read

RIP big man
