Glasgow modern Crime
28 Dec 1999
Format:Hardcover
When you first look at the statistics Glasgow has the highest death rate from knife injuries of any city in the UK. When you look more closely you find it is also the city that you would want to be in if injured by a knife. They carry bigger knives and use them more frequently in Glasgow, the local hospitals are very experienced in dealing with knife injuries. Peter Turnbull manages to paint a detailed accurate picture of the seamer side and to capture the language of Glasgow. His characters are very detailed. P division is populated with real policeman, men who don't always get it right. Quoting from The Times review "Our own mean streets done to a turn by Turnbull.".
