About this listen

When a teenage boy shoots a young woman dead in the middle of a busy Glasgow street and then commits suicide, Detective Harry McCoy is sure of one thing. It wasn't a random act of violence.

McCoy uses his underworld network to lead the investigation but soon runs up against a secret society led by Glasgow's wealthiest family, the Dunlops. McCoy's boss doesn't want him to investigate. The Dunlops seem untouchable. But McCoy has other ideas....

Critic Reviews

"A blistering plot, unforgettable characters and writing so sharp it's like it's been written with a knife." (Sarah Pinborough, author of Behind Her Eyes)
"Bloody and brilliant." (Louise Welsh)

This was not what I expected but having said that it’s a reasonable read. I liked the narration very much. My problem is with the central character who I couldn’t decide if I liked or hated. Perhaps that what kept me listening to see how he would come through his tangled life!
The story is very believable once you accept the ‘historical’ setting of 1979s Glasgow. I will read more because now I am hooked on seeing what will happen to this particularly human policeman!

An interesting look into the past to see how societal views have changed towards women and violence

Thought provoking book I didn’t want to stop listening even with the yuck factors of the underworld lifestyle
