About this listen

Giving them back their names is one thing; giving them justice is quite another.

A visit to Glasgow for a job interview in 1931 unexpectedly places Cuthbert at the centre of a devastating crime.

Unwittingly, he finds himself working at the intersection between rising British fascism, anti-Semitism and the infamous Glasgow razor gangs. To solve the case, Cuthbert needs to rely on all the expertise he can gather from those around him. But who can he trust?

I have never binge-listened a series as I have with the excellent Jack Cuthbert books. So well written and the narration by Ciaran Saward is one of the best on Audible. That said, he loses a star here for some of his Glasgow pronunciation. It’s a shame the producer didn’t check this at the point of recording, or it’d have been a five star review for Performance.

Excellent series and brilliantly read
