The Drop is the first novel in Howard Linskey’s David Blake series of fictional novels. In this popular thriller series, readers get the chance to meet the main character of David Blake for the first time.

David’s a criminal of the white collar variety and doesn’t mind engaging in a bit of that good life now and then. Okay, it’s more often than that, but the cash just continues to flow and it’s showing no signs of stopping. He works for Bobby Mahoney, who’s a gangster if you’re in the know. It’s not the most honest line of work, but who can argue when the money is plentiful?

Things of course hit a snag when he discovers that a huge pile of money appears to have disappeared, and Geordie Cartwright has vanished along with it. Blake’s now getting accused of being responsible and he needs to find out what happened fast. Otherwise it’s going to be his head on a silver platter. He’s trying to figure out what happened and whether Geordie took the drop and bounced or some type of gang member took him out.

Blake has to go down into the violent underworld of Newcastle to find the answers that he seeks in pubs, clubs, exotic dancing bars, brothels and more. He slowly begins to put together what really happened. When David finds out that Bobby has a rat in his circle and a takeover is in the works, it’s clear that events are already in motion.

Bobby is being closed in on by a D.I. and a crime squad that want to bring him to justice. His arrest is only a matter of time now. David also has to pick between the daughter of his boss and his actual girlfriend in matters of the heart. The daughter could also be a risk, as her father is not going to be happy if he discovers that the two of them are together.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, can he make the right choice when it comes to his personal life and his actual life? If he messes up, there’s going to be a price to pay. Find out what happens by getting a copy of this thriller mystery novel!
