Outstanding ! Couldn’t put it down! I’m just going to get the awkward part out of the way though. I definitely think the book needs to highlight on the back, that the story contains disturbing sexual behaviour and paedophiles. Ok, the book is set in the 70s. It’s the second in a series of twelve following a rough Glasgow policeman called McCoy. His language is rough, his behaviour tough and throughout the story you pick up his childhood and background story. The characters are excellent and I could definitely see this becoming a movie or tv series. I really don’t want to give any spoilers, it’s excellent to the last page. The story involves organised gangs, drug dealing and using, violence, murder, suicide, prostitutes and psychopaths. Like all good, hard nosed cops, towards the end we get a glimpse of a softer side to McCoy but he keeps it very well hidden.
