The Rave By Nicky Black
BLURB FROM AMAZON
It’s 1989, the second Summer of Love, and Tommy Collins is doing what he does best: organising all-night raves on a shoestring, and playing a game of cat and mouse with the police. But Detective Chief Inspector Peach is closing in on him, and his dreams of a better life are beginning to slip through his fingers.
DCI Peach finds it all a nuisance, a waste of his force's time, until he finds his teenage daughter unconscious at one of Tommy's raves. Then the chase becomes personal, and his need to make Tommy pay becomes an obsession.
Set in Newcastle upon Tyne, The Rave is a fast-paced, gritty portrayal of life on the edges of society at the end of a decade that changed Britain forever.
This book can be read as a stand-alone from The Prodigal.

This was my first book by Nicky and I loved it as it got me back into reading as I was really struggling to find another book to read and I saw everyone raving about this one and had to give it ago and I love how I didn't need to read the first one in the series which is called the prodigal as it doesn't have anything from the first book in it.
What drawn me to this book was the way it was written and the story concept really does grab you from the first page. Tommy loves his family and would do anything for them. But he also loves his raves he puts on and hopes one day they would earn enough to get out of the horrible flat they are in. With the police on his back wanting to lock him away for them he turns to the one person his wife doesn't like and has nothing to do with her uncle as he is one nasty piece of work. Paul smart is one bloke who no one messes with and one bloke the police cant catch.
I'm not going to say to much of this book as I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone else but I would say this though you would be crazy not to give this book a read another 5 star read from me today
