Gar’s a cynical, cold jailbird who’s dying in a prison
hospital. He’s hard and mean right up to
the end.
Before leaving this world, he
asks his doctor to set up a visit from his 2 sons so that he can rest in a kind
of peace.
His sons are an interesting pair and they can prove or
disprove nature-nurture theories in any way you like, given that they were born
to different mothers.
Mick is the Irish son, Jerzy is the Pole. Mick was once a cop and might have a soft
side well hidden somewhere, but in truth the pair are just about as stubborn, brutal
and mean as their father.
When they are reunited in the hospital it’s the first time
they’ve seen each other in many years.
Gar gives them a mission that will force them together for a
short while. Is he intending to bring
his progeny back to the glory days of youth in a Coupe-De-Ville style journey
as his final act? That would be a noble
final act from any man, I’d say.
Thankfully, the 2 men have little on their plate other than
a turf war assassination and a competition where they’re both fishing for the
heart (and body) of the beautiful Ania.
All the strands fizz and eventually the fuses blow to ignite
a dynamite ending.
Explosive and engaging right from the off and another success for the gritty and blossoming Snubnose Press.
