To Die In June, is the sixth Harry McCoy novel from Alan Parks which sees the detective go undercover as he investigates a string of suspicious deaths among Glasgow's homeless community. A woman enters a Glasgow police station to report her son missing, but no record can be found of the boy. When Detective Harry McCoy, seconded from the cop shop across town, discovers the family is part of the cultish Church of Christ's Suffering, he suspects there is more to Michael's disappearance than meets the eye.
Meanwhile reports arrive of a string of
poisonings of down-and-outs across the city. The dead are men who few barely
notice, let alone care about - but, as McCoy is painfully aware, among this
desperate community is his own father.
Cast A Cold Eye is the latest novel
from Robbie Morrison and is a dark historical crime sequel to Edge
of the Grave, winner of Bloody Scotland's Scottish Crime Debut of the
Year.
It’s Glasgow, 1933. Murder is nothing new in the
Depression-era city, especially to war veterans Inspector Jimmy Dreghorn and
his partner ‘Bonnie’ Archie McDaid. But the dead man found in a narrowboat on
the Forth and Clyde Canal, executed with a single shot to the back of the head,
is no ordinary killing.
Violence usually erupts in the heat of the moment – the
razor-gangs that stalk the streets settle scores with knives and fists.
Firearms suggest something more sinister, especially when the killer strikes
again. A suspected IRA cell is at large, embedded within the criminal gangs and
attracting the ruthless attention of Special Branch agents from London. With
political and sectarian tensions rising, and the body count mounting, Dreghorn
and McDaid pursue an investigation into the dark heart of humanity – where one
person's freedom fighter is another's terrorist, and noble ideals are swept
away by bloody vengeance.
