Nobody
LooksMike Kinton
There are two kinds of men. Those who see something wrong and look away. And Carrigan.
He is a drifter. No address. No ties. Home is wherever he parks his motorhome. Right now, that’s an empty headland on the coast of southern Spain.
Then he finds a bag on a rusted trailer. It was left for someone else.
A boy is dead. His mother can prove why. Now she is missing, and someone wants her silenced by dawn.
The whole village has its reasons to look away. The men who own the coast take him for a tourist. Lost. Harmless. Gone by tomorrow.
They are wrong. He has one night, and thirty years of watching people lie.
He doesn’t fight. He watches. He waits. He remembers.
The first Vincent Carrigan thriller. For fans of Lee Child and Mick Herron.

About the author
Mike Kinton lives on the Yorkshire coast and travels in Europe whenever the road allows.
He parked his motorhome on the Spanish coast for one night, and found a child’s notebook. It gave him an idea, and he began a thriller to amuse himself and his wife. That night turned into a month, and most of this book was written there, right by the sea.
It is a long way from his working life of emails and spreadsheets, where his job is to find what does not add up. He is now planning his next trip. Vincent may follow him.
