Glasgow. Blink and it owns you.
For middle-aged detective Liam Keenan, the problems are stacking up. He’s put twenty years into a job he never wanted. His on-off girlfriend has left him for her husband. Criminals across the East End are dropping dead. And Liam has broken the golden rule, never fall for a suspect. Especially not one who has an idea how to put her hands on three million pounds in cash.
Peter Buana works for a local crime boss. He has a plan to set himself up for life, if he can make it through the night alive.
Vicky Kaprantza has the same plan, but is less worried about whether Peter can make it through the night, and more focused on whether she can get Liam to go along with her scheme.
Ellie Raymond has a whole other load of problems, and mostly just needs her father to stop killing people.
Through it all, everybody is asking the same two questions. What lines are they willing to cross for three million pounds? Is it ever too late to change your life and start again?
Once Upon a Time in Glasgow is a funny and tense thriller about growing old and doing crime.
Genre: Mystery
