Graham Guy – Only Eagles Fly
Posted by rivalblogger on 29th December 2009
Until yesterday I had never heard of the author Graham Guy but after I read his book “Only Eagles Fly”, I’ll be keeping an eye out for some more titles from him…
… which says a lot considering the love-hate relationship that us South Africans have with the Australians!
In a nutshell a couple of Australian thugs and an assassin hear that a certain Italian fashion head honcho (and part-time drug kingpin) is going to be going on holiday and leaving his house and $20 million dollars in a vault at his home when he goes on holiday. The story goes that he is a super-important cog in the global drugs trade that he doesn’t need any protection of his assets when he leaves town.
… err ja.
If you can manage to swallow that particular leap of faith then the rest of the story makes for good reading.
It involves an Australian cop and his partner who are desperately trying to hunt down a crack assasin before he kills again. The assasin in turn has head about this $20 million and wants in.
What follows is an entertaining chase around Australia as the various parties chase after the prize.
As a word of warning, the book is a bit of a slow starter. I contemplated putting it down and looking for something different after the first few chapters but my patience was rewarded.
Title: Only Eagles Fly
Author: Graham Guy
Definately not the worst read around. Rated it a three out of five.
