Review: An exciting thriller set in 1960s Glasgow which will excite all those familiar with the area or for those interested in hearing a sprinkling of Scots in their literature. With a compelling lead character who is sufficiently different to his counterparts to keep you anxious as to how he will work with his new team to investigate “The Quaker”. Fast paced with gritty Glasgow gangsters and coppers a plenty to keep you wanting more till you reach the satisfying conclusion – worthy of the Scottish Crime novel of the year.
