Detective Lou Perlman returns to Glasgow's dark underbelly in the atmospheric new crime thriller from the acclaimed author of The Bad Fire and The Last Darkness. When a young Asian entrepreneur dies in a suspicious fall from his high-rise apartment and an Indian kindergarten teacher is gunned down in front of her class it's clear to Detective Sergeant Lou Perlman that he is dealing with racially motivated murder. The emergence of a group called White Rage and a growing sense of fear across the city of Glasgow mean that Perlman needs some answers quickly. At the same time, he needs to make sense of a crime that is closer to home -- the mysterious shooting of his own brother Colin. Lou's conviction that the killing is connected to the underworld boss Leo Kilroy nags at his mind almost as much as his unspoken love for Colin's widow Miriam. And when Lou Perlman looks beneath the glittering new surface of the city in which he was born, he finds all sorts of ancient connections, some of them painful, some of them shocking, many of them disturbing.… (more)

Follows on from the excellent "The Last Darkness", this time an apparent white supremacist organisation is on a killing spree in Glasgow, but is there more to it than that? Det Lou Perlman with his typically dogged approach seems to be one of the few interested in the truth, but he has to work the case in-between trying to prove who killed his brother Colin. Excellent plot, characterisation and sense of place - a number of locations in Glasgow I personally knew added to my enjoyment. A worthy Glasgow competitor to Rebus! ( )
