The Dark Remains by William McIlvanney
3.0
I wanted very much to love this novel - it just fell short for me.
Detective Constable Jack Laidlaw has been transferred yet again - his blunt approach, searching the streets for information have a tendency to rile his partners and coworkers, not to mention his personality.
Assigned to work a seasoned detective, they arrive at a local pub - the body of missing gangster lawyer Bobby Carter found in the alleyway. Many people wanted him dead - but who would make a move against his boss, Cam Colvin. Could it be their rival, John Rhodes?
The detectives are working hard to solve this case before a gang war breaks out; Cam and John also sending their men out to investigate.
