A review by stanl
Savage Night by Allan Guthrie

3.0

Mayhem, bloody mayhem. This "grand guignol" borders, at times, on absurdity. But Mr. Guthrie specializes in "hard" characters, showing a toughness in Scots that's hinted, perhaps, in characters like Gerald Cafferty. Part of my ancestry is Scots: hope I'm not kin to Mr. Guthrie's cast of characters. If you want contemporary hard-boiled, you needn't look further than this representative offering of Mr. Guthrie's.
