An origin story to start off a quartet of books featuring Davie McCall, centered around gang culture in Glasgow in 1980. Plenty of gritty action, violence and twists and turns in a familiar story of betrayal as the influx of the drug trade upsets the order of the criminal underworld. And just enough set up to make the central characters interesting to sustain into the following books.
Douglas Skelton is known as a non-fiction writer and this is his fiction book. This book is set in the Glasgow of 1970's. I could relate to the time frame and the setting. Being from Glasgow myself I had no problem imaging the places where scenes are set. This is a fast moving book and will appeal to lovers of crime fiction. I will look forward to reading the sequel and would urge you all to read this fast, easy and enjoyable read. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
A Glasgow gangster book - predictable story & characters. Probably 4/10.
