Cover illustration by Michael Koelsch. keywords: Literature Scotland Mystery. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Detective Inspector Jack Laidlaw is back. It is a tribute to William McIlvanney that the occasion should be so eagerly anticipated. The normal mode for building an audience for a fictional detective is a large number of titles delivered in quick succession. By contrast, LAIDLAW - the first novel of McIlvanney's sequence - appeared in 1977, and the second, THE PAPERS OF TONY VEITCH, only after a long interval in 1983. Now, eight years later, he makes his third appearance in STRANGE LOYALTIES. As in the earlier books, he is obsessed by an obscure death and is seen by his colleagues as a man near breaking point, driven by a private morality to work at the profession's outer edges. This time, however, the line between investigator and victim is blurred. The dead man is Laidlaw's younger brother, and the investigation takes him back to his roots in Ayrshire from which the not-so-grieving widow has departed and where Laidlaw learns from others of the breakdown of the marriage and his brother's increasing unpredictability in the months before his death under the wheels of a car. With a week's leave and a bottle of Antiquary, Laidlaw sets himself the task of finding out more. To this main plot is added a murder investigation being conducted back in Glasgow into the killing of drug pusher Meece Rooney. The linking of plot and subplot is achieved with the craft of an experienced novelist. The criminal Eddie Foley, for example, is seen in a similar light to the businessman Dave Lyons, who regards the law as a set of rules for those who get caught.' Laidlaw himself is never more persuasively a policeman than when he is passing judgment: a drug dealer gets the thumbs down; an adulterous wife is convicted of lacking the courage of her sins; he scrutinizes himself constantly for lapses from his own standard of conduct. To live behind hedges, draw the curtains, shut out others, begins to seem like the humanist equivalent of sinning against the Holy Ghost. Laidlaw's antecedents are an odd mixture of traditions. There is recognizably a strain of Chandler, the writer who gave crime back to the people who commit it and sent Marlowe down mean streets armed only with integrity and a wisecrack. But it is the unrelenting seriousness of his moral concern which makes Laidlaw different. As a crime novel, STRANGE LOYALTIES does not engage the Glasgow underworld with the ferocious infatuation of the earlier books. It contains instead some of McIlvanney's best set pieces on suburban values; and arguably the finest ending he has achieved. Crime fiction needs Laidlaw back before another eight years have passed.' - The Scotsman. inventory #32014.
