"Fall Down Easy" is the sixth hard-hitting, Vancouver-based crime novel featuring detectives Jack Willows and Claire Parker. Greg is a coke addict, weapons freak, professional heartbreaker, master of disguise - and bank robber. But his latest hold-up goes sour: there is a violent fight and a man is killed. Greg makes his escape with the victim's briefcase, to find it full of not money, but computer print-outs. Willows and Parker are handed what rapidly becomes a hideously complex investigation. The dead man turns out to be a plainclothes Panamanian police officer, in Vancouver for unspecified reasons. It also proves impossible to build up any sort of profile of the chameleon-like killer...for what Willows and Parker can't know is that the man they're after is motivated by far more than a simple love of money. Riveting, fast-moving, at times blackly humorous, "Fall Down Easy" is another winner for Laurence Gough.
This is the sixth novel in the Parker and Willows series, and is full of twists and turns, humour, excellent dialogue and wonderful characters. The fast paced story makes it impossible to put down. Gough has once again written alternating chapters so that readers are able to see the story unfold from the perspectives of different characters. This is a fascinating element of the novel which really adds an extra dimension to the experience.
