Riassunto

The bodies of two business men are left in the heart of Glasgow. The killer leaves a signature: her DNA. Sex and murder. At a private health clinic in leafy suburbia, two pillars of the community play God. They take in asylum-seekers in the name of charity. The lucky ones lose only their babies. Money and murder. Three are killed in a brutal turf war over drugs. Mayhem and murder. Inspector Sandy Hunter is an old-fashioned Glasgow cop who walks in the footsteps of the dead. It is the life - and the living - that he can't handle. Rules are there to be bent, and the Establishment turns a blind eye as long as he gets the results. He needs to get three...and quickly. These murders would stretch him at his best. But he is far from that - in a personal crisis, un-happy with his marriage and the man he has become. Darkly humorous and taut as a wire, the strands of these murders entwine like a hangman's noose.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Tartan noir has a new standard-bearer. Coffey has created an authentic world where an evil on steroids battles against an anorexic good ... He tells the story at a relentless pace, punctuated by a humour so biting it should be muzzled. --The Herald

L'autore:
