The April Dead

Harry McCoy, Book 4

By: Alan Parks

Narrated by: Andrew McIntosh

When an American sailor from the Holy Loch Base goes missing, Harry McCoy is determined to find him. But as he investigates, a wave of bombings hits Glasgow - with the threat of more to come. Soon McCoy realises that the sailor may be part of a shadowy organisation committed to a very different kind of Scotland. One they are prepared to kill for.

Meanwhile Cooper, McCoy's longtime criminal friend, is released from jail and convinced he has a traitor in his midst. As allies become enemies, Cooper has to fight for his position and his life. He needs McCoy to do something for him. Something illegal.

McCoy is running out of time to stop another bomb, save himself from the corrupt forces who want to see him fail and save the sailor from certain death. But McCoy discovers a deeper, darker secret - the sailor is not the first young man to go missing in April.

Great book, great voice artist

Really looking forward to more Alan Parks and Andrew McIntosh. I read 70-100 books per year, and this series and narration currently top my list of favorites.

Outstanding series

Gritty, fast-paced, engaging cast of recurring characters. Each entry so far has been better than the last.

Great cast of characters!

The plots get increasingly far fetched and convoluted but that’s part of the fun!

Stevie Cooper and Harry McCoy, sigh....

I love this actor, he did a very credible Boston accent.

patience is a virtue

Nice story. Seem to go on and on and on. It needs to move on.

Too much accent for casual listening

It's not the narrators problem, just me. I am a casual listener and this story was hard to follow since the accent was not familiar and not enough uniqueness to discern between the characters. Story was OK but not good enough for me to want to listen to the earlier books.
