When an American sailor from the Holy Loch Base goes missing, Harry Mc Coy is determined to find him. But as he investigates, a wave of bombings hits Glasgow. Soon Mc Coy realises that the sailor may be part of a shadowy organization led by a dangerous fanatic and committed to a very different kind of Scotland. A Scotland its members are prepared to kill for.
Meanwhile Cooper, Mc Coy’s long-time criminal friend, is released from jail and is convinced he has a traitor in his midst. As allies become enemies, Cooper has to fight to maintain his position as crime kingpin. He needs something done, something illegal, and his old friend Mc Coy is the only one who can do it.
As word begins to circulate on the streets that another, bigger explosion is being planned for Glasgow, Mc Coy battles corruption in his ranks in an attempt to save the city for which he is the perfect noir hero.
About the author
Before beginning his writing career, Alan Parks was Creative Director at London Records and Warner Music, where he marketed and managed artists including All Saints, New Order, The Streets, Gnarls Barkley, and Cee Lo Green. His love of music, musician lore, and even the industry, comes through in his prize-winning mysteries, which are saturated with the atmosphere of the 1970s music scene, grubby and drug-addled as it often was. Parks’ debut novel, Bloody January, propelled him onto the international literary crime fiction circuit and won him praise, prizes, and success with readers. The second book in the Harry Mc Coy series, February’s Son, was a finalist for a MWA Edgar Award. Parks was born in Scotland, earned an M.A. in Moral Philosophy from the University of Glasgow, and still lives and works in the city he so vividly depicts in his Harry Mc Coy thrillers.
