Bobby March Will Live Forever by Alan Parks
4.0
This one plays with the format of the series and has McCoy drifting in his role as Police Inspector either through petty jealousies or injury seeing him taking on smaller cases and helping out his cohorts Murray and Cooper with issues.
There is a teenage girl missing in Glasgow, but McCoy finds himself dealing with the death of rock star Bobby March and a series of seemingly impenetrable armed robberies. On top of this, Murray asks McCoy to track down his 15 year old niece and we end up with an almost jazzy, freeform crime novel as McCoy finds himself pulled in a lot of different directions.
The above means this isn't as propulsive as the earlier two books, but allows us to see McCoy as he is and how he understands the playing of the game rather than looking to prosecute every crime he comes across.
It'll be interesting to see if McCoy is going to remain a police officer throughout the series as this one has him drifting around like a private eye rather than a bobby. There is a lot going on, but he does feel like Glasgow's answer to Matthew Scudder.
