'Russell's 1950s Glasgow is dank, murky and excellently realised. Slick, chilling and excellently written' The Scotsman.
'Vivid and compelling, with a dark sense of place, even darker characters, and deliciously noir humour' Peter James
'Russell manages a few ingenious twists and turns ... the Glasgow that Russell conjures up is dark, cold and shabby, but poised on the edge of the more promising 60s. It's seen through the eyes of the classic crime hero outsider, Lennox... He (Craig Russell) remains of the more intelligent and sophisticated proponents of the genre' Glasgow Herald.
'Set in 1950's Glasgow, it is tartan noir at its noirest - compelling and dark' Scottish Sunday Herald.
'Russell is a truly gifted story teller and this tale of life in post WWII Glasgow is brimming with rich descriptions of larger-than-life characters' Euro Crime.

Format:Paperback
Having followed Lennox in his previous tales, I have to say that I love Craig's dark gritty Glasgow of the fifties that creeps into your mind in much the same way that the Clyde creeps its way through the city itself. It's well written, it has some cracking twists and when you add a darker look at the cities underworld to the mix, it's one that is rich with images as well as characters for the tales antihero to pit himself against.
As usual the prose is top notch, the pace bracing and when added to a unique author writing voice, it's one that will thrill and entertain from the first page to the last. Just remember that Glasgow gives up its secrets in much the same way as the Clyde and that sometimes pushing through the murk to find them will lead to inevitable consequences which leave you wondering how many more breaths Lennox has left in his body. Wonderful.

Format:Paperback
This is the third Lennox book and Craig Russell has hit on a gem. Russell's writing and characters are carefully constructed and I look forward to all his offerings, whether Jan Fabel or the worldly wise Lennox. I heartily recommend anyone with a taste for good writing and a twisting plot to discover all of Craig Russell's characters, especially the simmering Lennox.

Format:Paperback
All three of Mr Russell's 'Lennox' mysteries are great fun, but the third surpasses the other by far. This is one series that just keeps getting better and better. The atmosphere of post-war Scotland mixes with the great characters to make for a terrific book.

"A great writer at the very top of his game" is a cover quote from Peter James. And it's hard to disagree. Craig Russell's third Lennow outing is as good as the previous two. Read more
