Crusher - Niall Leonard

Very basic crime thriller - almost a trial for the real thing.

Which isn't much comfort if you've paid over good cash.
A non achieving son comes home to find his non achieving father dead at the kitchen table.
Very quickly the non achieving son becomes an adequate detective even managing to get himself employment with the gangland boss he believes killed his father.
Add in an unlikely sexual relationship and you have a crime,sex, thriller that still somehow fails to hit the mark.
