The author, Mick Herron, has a writing skill that encompasses his characters from the get go. A book very difficult to put down, and when it ended, I sat and thought, I hope this becomes a series.Tom Bettany, an ex-MI5 agent, had enough of his old life, and moved with his wife and son away from the limelight. After his wife died, Tom and his son, Liam, became estranged, and Tom moved onto butchering cows for a living. This information is not relayed until well into the novel. We know Tom receives two phone messages, one from a London policeman wanting to speak to him about his son, and one from a young woman, Felicity Pointer, telling him Liam was dead. Tom quickly goes to London from his old workplace in France. There he finds himself immersed in his old world. One thing he knows for sure, his son did not kill himself but was murdered. Little clues fill the space. This is a novel for you to read and discover and to walk with Tom Bettany all over London, putting two and two together. Meeting with old sources, dangerous men, and those who work in high places in MI-5.It must be that the author knows one or two spies. He has such insight into how their mind works, and what intuition and what a read of the eyes belie. He knows the streets and byways of London, the clubs, the grungy little food places, the new game designers, the computerized games that are all the rage, the money that flows easily between one set and another. The way of the spy world, how to deflect any interest, how to stay out of the game. But most of all, what it takes to love your boy, and know that you will never have the chance to tell him.Highly Recommended. prisrob 01-24-15

McGee When Tom Bettany's estranged son, Liam, dies in fall from a London balcony after smoking a particularly strong form of pot, Bettany -- a former spook who has been working off the grid in a French abbatoir -- believes he has found something amiss in the evidence. Someone, he decides, must pay for his son's murder -- for murder it is, of some kind, he has concluded.And so begins a dark and suspenseful yarn that ends up entangling Bettany with a bunch of Estonian drug dealers, the Irish gun runners that he betrayed during his days undercover as an intelligence officer, Liam's former colleagues at a successful gaming company and his own former employers at a spy agency that Mick Herron seems to intend to be MI-5, run by an intimidatingly ugly and manipulative woman, Dame Ingrid Tearney. It's a tale of smoke and mirrors, where what you think you see isn't necessarily the truth -- and where even Bettany's sixth and seventh sense and awareness of threats may not be enough to save him, even if he is able to bring justice to Liam.This was a fast-paced novel that held my attention, but that I never really fell in love with it. It's edgy, and Herron lets his character's actions speak for them. That's fine when it's Bettany -- of whose actions we see a lot -- but it does reduce the secondary characters to walk-on roles in the novel. Moreover, Bettany ended up feeling like a one-note character to me. Yes, he's compelling and dark, but his interactions with others are all of one nature: he demands information of one kind or another. While such a suspenseful story could never feel flat, the character of Bettany himself did feel predictable.While the novel was intriguing enough, I don't think there's a lot here that will stick with me. Even the London settings aren't drawn very vividly. It's a taut action thriller, and those who love those will find a lot here to admire, especially since the writing is well above par for the genre. I prefer something with a bit more nuance and subtlety, though. The subtlety that does exist here lies in the layers of deception in the plot that Bettany must uncover, which is clever and adroit; I like to see it in the characters and their interactions as well, however, and here that fails.3.5 stars, rounded up because of the writing. Didn't enjoy it enough to seek out more by Mick Herron.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. AND THE BEAT GOES ON By Red Rock Bookworm Author Mick Herron's Nobody Walks is rugged, resilient and somber, much like its anti-hero Tom Bettany. It is a tale of a man with a secret and often violent past as an MI5 operative who, years before, left his family and his clandestine past to work in a meat packing plant in France. He thought that he had put his previous life behind him but now he has received a call informing him of his estranged sons mysterious death and is compelled to try to make up for things left undone and unsaid by returning to England to investigate. He realizes that this act could put his life in jeopardy and unfortunately it does when his probing brings him face to face with people from his cloak and dagger past.It is difficult to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys in this tale since each and every character is self absorbed and dedicated to their own agenda. From drug kings, to a video developer to Tom's former MI5 boss, all of the characters in this tale of regret and revenge are pretty slimy and hard to like.This dark, emotional and action filled tale, complete with its fantastic climax, is one that most readers will find it difficult to walk away from. Reading NOBODY WALKS is akin to having dinner with writers Ian Fleming and Len Deighton and having Red from T.V's BLACKLIST drop by for dessert. 4 1/2 stars
