The Angels’ Share Series by Mac Logan
Eilidh Duncan, a talented journalist, investigates corruption within the UK Establishment. Criminals help themselves to the corporate equivalent of the Angels’ Share. She disappears.
The Angels’ Share series
During the maturation of Scotch whisky, about 2% is lost from the cask through evaporation. This is known as ‘The Angels’ Share’, and UK customs waive duty on it. The Angels’ Cut starts the ball rolling when money evaporates into corrupt pockets, just like whisky vapour.
The Angels’ Share Series are tough, fast-paced thrillers about the secretive, greedy, influential people who will kidnap and commit murder to avert investigation and exposure.
Eilidh knows…
Eilidh Duncan’s explosive dossier exposes a huge web of corruption in the dark heart of the UK Establishment … sound familiar? Aided by inside information, she uncovers extensive fraud in government procurement and contracting. As a result, influential criminals fear exposure. Taken, Eilidh plunges into an insane world of pain and despair.
Sam doesn’t know…
Expecting a happy catch-up, Eilidh’s older brother, Sam Duncan, arrives in London. In the shadows, an enemy from Sam’s past whispers in corrupt ears. Unsurprisingly, the guilty… officials, politicians, business people, bankers, law enforcement, spooks and organized crime panic at the thought of exposure. Before long, poor communication, fear and knee-jerk reactions escalate into violence. No one is safe.
The Trouble Starts…
Using government security information, a hit team finds and attacks Sam’s family. With no alternative, he investigates using skills honed during a military career, the Troubles and other clandestine situations. Forced into conflict, the gloves come off.
Target the family
Both Sam and Eilidh plummet into confused and malicious webs of betrayal, murder, cover-up and stunning violence. Eilidh is lost. Can Sam find her? Will they survive? As if that isn’t enough, gangsters target his family. With his trusted warrior colleague, Tonka, facts emerge, and with them, mayhem. Does lusting after The Angels’ Share make killers of the gentle officials we trust?
Criminality and cover-ups
People say – ‘it’s a cover-up’ … ’it’s one law for them and another for us’ … ‘we bale out the banks, and they get the bonuses’ … Just for once, wouldn’t it be nice if someone flushed the criminals out? Well, here you go, you’ve come to the right place.
Greed, cosy corruption … follow the money
The greedy fear exposure. Money is all. What will bad people do to protect a criminal investment? For instance, how much do criminal insiders steal? Is the £190 billion ($265 billion) reported by Experian in November 2017 fake news? Maybe it’s just the tip of The Angels’ Share.
