Synopsis
Jack Laidlaw Trilogy #1
Winner of The CWA Silver Dagger.
Meet Jack Laidlaw, the original damaged detective.
When a young woman is found brutally murdered in Kelvingrove Park, only Laidlaw stands a chance of finding her murderer from among the hard men, gangland villains and self-made moneymen who lurk in the city's shadows.
Acclaimed for its corrosive wit, dark themes and original maverick detective, the Laidlaw trilogy has earned the status of classic crime fiction.

External Reviews

" . . . a down-to-earth quality, an unflinching eye on the social context of crime, a focus on the bleakly, blackly comic side of life and death . . ." - The Guardian.
"A bloody good read" - Val McDermid.
