2022: The dark, dark side of Glasgow
What you need to know before your trail
Auctioneer Rilke has been trying to stay out of trouble, keeping his life more or less respectable. Business has been slow at Bowery Auctions, so when an old friend, Jojo, gives Rilke a tip-off for a house clearance, life seems to be looking up. The next day Jojo washes up dead.
Jojo liked Grindr hook-ups and recreational drugs – is that the reason the police won’t investigate? And if Rilke doesn’t find out what happened to Jojo, who will?

“The cold of Dumbarton Road was like the cold of my childhood”
“Most men die around the age of seventy in Glasgow. Accordig to the stats, I had about 20 years left.”
“Glasgow, the Dear Green Place, is surrounded by countryside. It had taken us less than two hours to reach Ballantyne House, but it was not an exaggeration to describe this corner of Galloway as the arse end of nowhere.”
“Homelessness had worsened since Covid. It was hard to walk a block in the ity centre without passing someone huddled in a sleeping bag.”
