Glasgow Cross

It's June. There's a heatwave. A 'satanic' heavy-metal star is performing four nights at Hampden Park and Glasgow's been invaded by thousands of tattooed 'devil worshippers' from across Europe. When two old-aged sisters are found axed to death in their apartment DCI Pat Curzon - AKA The Dirty Rouge - thinks he knows where the blame lies until somebody finds a literary thread connecting the axe killings with an apparently unrelated second murder event. So sleepless and full of whisky Curzon prowls the sandstone streets of his beloved hometown hunting for a depraved serial killer that's emulating death scenes from the books of Fyodor Dostoyevsky. In the process he stumbles across crucial new evidence from a past-case and discovers dark life-changing secrets about his own family. Lovingly written with Scotland's edgiest city represented to maximum noir effect Glasgow Cross is Book 4 in The Dirty Rouge detective series.
