Red Mist

by geoff-thompson

Martin is a man disillusioned with life, and with good reason. Coming from a broken home where violence was the norm, he lives alone in a squalid flat, working as a brickie when he can. The monotony of his existence is dramatically altered when he meets the beautiful Ginger, who is desperately trying to escape from Mick, her obsessive boyfriend and brutal tormentor. Keeping Ginger out of harm's way means Martin must put his life on the line and get sucked into an underworld of drugs and violence, where scores are settled with a fist or a bullet.

Quick read - an acquired taste.

I definitely agree that the Scarpetta books aren't as great as they used to be, but they're still entertaining enough for me to read them.
