Longlisted for the McIlvanney Prize for Best Crime Book of the Year
No one will forget.
In a grimy flat in Glasgow, a homemade bomb explodes, leaving few remains to identify its maker.
Detective Harry McCoy knows in his gut that there’ll be more to follow. The hunt for a missing sailor from the local US naval base leads him to the secretive group behind the bomb, and their
disturbing, dominating leader.
On top of that, McCoy thinks he’s doing an old friend a favour when he passes on a warning, but instead he’s pulled into a vicious gang feud. And in the meantime, there’s word that another bigger
explosion is coming Glasgow’s way—so if the city is to survive, it’ll take everything McCoy’s got.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Tightly plotted and fast-moving, this well-wrought historical thriller also highlights Parks’s keen analysis of Scotland’s societal traumas…Tartan noir fans won’t want to miss this one.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“The pace is deliberate, but the lean, muscular prose is matched by a deep dive into character and the seamy side of the city…A full-bodied immersion into Glasgow’s gritty past.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Narrator Andrew McIntosh uses thick Scottish and Irish brogues to portray the many personalities…McIntosh vocally captures the distrust, anger, and unquestioning loyalty that motivate the crimes against the city and government. Listeners should pay attention to the minute details, which point to the bombers and those who pull their strings.” —AudioFile
Alan Parks is an author whose debut novel, Bloody January, propelled him onto the international literary crime-fiction circuit and won him praise, prizes, and success
with readers. The second book in the Harry McCoy series, February’s Son, was a finalist for a MWA Edgar Award. He was born in Scotland, earned an MA degree in moral philosophy from
the University of Glasgow, and still lives and works in the city he so vividly depicts in his Harry McCoy thrillers.
