Format:Paperback
The shooting of thirty-seven year-old Kenneth Scott divorced, no children living in a quiet suburb of Glasgow, seems motiveless - even the victim has a surprised look on his face. And disbelief from those who knew him, `such an ordinary bloke' seems to be the census of opinion - it must have been a mistake!
Investigating is Detective Chief Inspector William Lorimer's team and his new Detective Constable Omar Adel Fathy. And so they begin the interviews of those closest to Kenneth Scott with the exception of his ex-wife who they cannot locate.
Across the city, a hit-man is keen to collect his fee and be on his way. But matters don't go smoothly and this makes him angry and bent on revenge.
Meanwhile in Spain wee toerag Billy is living royally on 10K that isn't his, but wee Billy is not that savey away from his native Glasgow.
Further professional killings has DCI Lorimer struggling to find any evidence, and following budget cut-backs he cannot call on criminal psychologist Solomon Brightman, to give him a profile of the killer. Although saddened that he is no longer able to be involved, Solomon and his wife Dr Rosie Ferguson, the forensic pathologist is pregnant with their first child, so they have much to occupy them, but Solomon is closer to the case than he knows.
An intriguing mystery, rich in characters that initially seem unrelated until the author skilfully draws the threads together and the story unfolds to reveal the full picture. The strands of the story are satisfyingly tied-up, with a twist at the end that for this reader ejects into the story a note of sadness. Very highly recommended.

I really enjoyed this book and loved the many sides to the story. I enjoy reasonably convoluted plots and look forward to the next Lorimer story. I have never read Alex Gray before but will certainly seek out more of her books.

Great author
Alex Gray is one of our favourite authors and we had this book on pre-order. As soon as it arrived, number one daughter took it to read and eventually we will all be able to follow... Read more

Difficult to read
I find it difficult to follow as there is no gap or pause between one characters part and anothers.

crime at its best
If you are a fan of Ian Rankins Rebus you will enjoy Alex Greys DCI Lorimer from Glasgow. Would recommend this as a very good read.

Very good book cleverly written, wasnt sure whenI read the first book by Alex Gray whether it was a male or female, not that it mattered.
