2000s: Three crimes leading to one question – who really runs Glasgow?
A grandfather brutally murdered in a post office raid. A corrupt politician fighting for his future. A police force up for sale.
Three crimes leading to one question – who really runs Glasgow?
DS Alex Morrow is called in to head the murder enquiry. She’s just returned from maternity leave and dives in head first into this gripping case and finds it weird that the grandfather in the post office had helped the gunmen before being shot – was it a moment of madness, a noble act of self-sacrifice, or did the old man and his killer share a dark past?
One city, three crimes and a powerful connection that runs from Glasgow’s dark criminal underworld to the international spheres of the super rich.
Welcome to Glasgow’s “underground” and a setting of a gripping but bloody and brutal crime war. As a port city, there are many more ways of entry and escape from this place than most. A city of Irish immigrants too and who are becoming very much the outsider. Religion rears its ugly head.
The low live can also be found on the high levels of society too however as the politicians are not far behind – and they, on their high positions, have further to fall.
