Getting Tyson by P.K. Davies
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
In 'Getting Tyson', P.K. Davies has written a story with strongly defined characters. We are introduced to the main antagonist, Dave Tyson, early in the story. He is a cockney, and in the written dialogue the author, P.K. Davies, assignes Tyson the accent one would expect to hear a person speaking when born and brought up in the sound of Bow Bells. One soon gets to hate Tyson for his deviousness and cruelty. A wide variety of characters, some of whom we get to know well and others who step into the tale and then step back out, weave their way through 'Getting Tyson' .
The main protagonist, Detective Superintendent Mike Prosser, is always one step behind Tyson in this tale that takes us into the realms of an import deal to do with a processing industry that is not what it seems on the surface.
Prosser and his side-kick, Val Franks, have their work cut out to get the evasive Tyson convicted for his crimes.
Who wins out in the end, Tyson or Prosser? You will have to read the book to find out.
P.K. Davies has another book in the offing, 'The Girl Of Drovers' Hill'. It will be interesting to see how this book shapes up; it is an intriguing title. I am looking forward to reading a taster of P.K.'s next book.
