Morrison succeeds in summoning Depression-era Glasgow in a powerful work of crime fiction' – <i>Sunday Times</i></b><br><br>Glasgow, 1933<br><br>Murder is nothing new in the Depression-era city, especially to war veterans Inspector Jimmy Dreghorn and his partner ‘Bonnie’ Archie McDaid.
But the dead man found in a narrowboat on the Forth and Clyde Canal, executed with a single shot to the back of the head, is no ordinary killing.<br><br>Violence usually erupts in the heat of the moment – the razor-gangs that stalk the streets settle scores with knives and fists.
