Book Review - Gun Machine by Warren Ellis

This is a very modern mystery full of cynicism, swearing and guns. A few of New York's finest misfits get together to solve the puzzle of the room full of guns accidentally discovered during a violent incident, when Detective John Tallow's partner is killed. Mixing humour with history, erudition with poor housekeeping, and keeping on with the task when it's obvious that powerful people want them to stop, John and his mates use science and intuition in their hunt for this invisible killer. The author began his writing career in graphic novels but I'm very glad he's switched over to the dark side of words only! Wendy
