Description
Als die Leiche einer jungen Frau im Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow gefunden wird, beginnt für Detective Jack Laidlaw ein tödlicher Wettlauf mit der Zeit. Denn in dieser Stadt voll harter Männer, mächtiger Gangster und skrupelloser Geschäftemacher ist nicht nur der charismatische Detective auf der Suche nach dem Mörder. Hier will sich keiner die Geschäfte verderben lassen, hier haben die Gangster einen eigenen Begriff von Moral und hier schweigen die Väter und sinnen nach Rache. Und Jack Laidlaw weiß, dass er den Mörder zuerst finden muss, wenn er einen weiteren Mord verhindern will ... William McIlvanneys Romane um den legendären Ermittler Jack Laidlaw sind in Großbritannien schon lange Kult und gehören schlicht zum Besten, was Kriminalliteratur zu bieten hat.
