WHO IS TO BLAME WHEN NO ONE IS INNOCENT?

The papers want blood.
The force wants results.
The law must be served, whatever the cost.

July 1973. The Glasgow drugs trade is booming and Bobby March, the city’s own rock-star hero, has just overdosed in a central hotel.

Alice Kelly is thirteen years old, lonely. And missing.

Meanwhile the niece of McCoy’s boss has fallen in with a bad crowd and when she goes AWOL, McCoy is asked – off the books – to find her.

McCoy has a hunch. But does he have enough time?

Critic reviews

"Even better than its predecessors . . . Its plot twists and turns, provoking laughter and tears . . . Fascinating and dangerous . . . Parks has clearly studied the masters of tartan noir but has his own voice. He shows how, among the welter of violence, a spontaneous act of kindness can have just as great an impact"
"Draws the reader in with equal parts of twist and grit . . . It’s McCoy, though, who makes this series something special – he’s multi-layered and three-dimensional, with his own idiosyncratic work ethic . . . With this third instalment of the McCoy books, Parks has continued to build a series that no crime fan should miss: dangerous, thrilling, but with a kind voice to cut through the darkness"
"Alan Parks has swiftly established himself as an exciting new voice in the world of tartan noir . . . Parks knows the city intimately, and this comes across effortlessly on the page"
"Parks captures the feel of a city long vanished in a breathless and tense retro crime caper"
"This piece of tartan noir, with its twisting, turning plot, is full of fun period detail"
"PRAISE FOR BLOODY JANUARY: An old-school cop novel written with wit and economy . . . Think McIlvanney or Get Carter" (IAN RANKIN)
"A potent tale of death . . . Alan Parks's excellent first novel propels him into the top class of Scottish noir authors . . . Detective Harry McCoy . . . is so noir that he makes most other Scottish cops seem light grey"
"1970s Glasgow hewn from flesh and drawn in blood" (PETER MAY)
"The latest star of Tartan noir — perhaps even a successor to the late, great William McIlvanney . . . Gripping, utterly authentic and nerve-jangling, this novel announces a fine new voice in crime writing"
"Gripping and violent, dark and satisfying. I flew through it" (BRET EASTON ELLIS)

Kept me interested. Knew a lot of the places mentioned in the story but I’m not a weegie so as far as I was concerned the narrator was excellent as was the story. McCoy just gets better.

Another great McCoy story

Bingeing this series and each one is better than the previous. Up there with Liam Mcilvanney in bringing old Glasgow to life.

Strength to strength.
