(2013)
A novel by

 
 
Crime thriller set in Glasgow's recent past (1998). Approx 45,000 words.

Story:

Glasgow freelance newspaper photographer, Muir, witnesses a threat of murder in the city centre.

Dalhousie, Muir's editor at the newspaper, publishes the murder story along with anonymous photographs that reveal the identity of MacRath, a ruthless Scottish hitman.

Dalhousie is one of many Muir can't trust. The only person Muir trusts is Rochelle, a journalist at the paper. A woman without a past and secrets to hide.

MacRath's lawyer, Lairdan, sets out to defend his client, using brutal tactics that are less than legal, seeking a dark form of justice for the hitman.

In a terrifying game of murder and lies, played publicly through the national press, the real world and the underworld both have their say.

Filled with murder, deceit, killing and corruption, this crime thriller, set in Glasgow, cuts against the grain of friendship and loyalty, revealing a world of characters where no one is quite what they seem.
