About this listen
Gangland boss Zander Finn is so sickened by the brutal murder of his son in a Paisley pub, he decides to change his life. Following the advice of his priest and mentor, he moves clandestinely to London and becomes an ambulance driver. But when his old second-in-command, Malky Maloney, tracks him down on a London street, Finn knows he must return. Both his real family and his crime family face an existential threat from Albanian mobsters determined to take control of the Scottish underworld.
Under the watchful eye of his charismatic mother, he must try to look after his lovelorn younger daughter and her older sister, who is pregnant to his old enemy Joe Mannion’s son. His estranged wife, who has more than just a business relationship with Mannion, and his remaining son, crippled while serving in Afghanistan, also require his attention. But most of all, he must take back what is his.

It is 1969 and Glasgow is in the grip of the worst winter in decades, yet it is something else that has Glaswegians on edge: a serial killer whose name alone is enough to make them tremble with fear. The Quaker has killed another victim, snatching a young woman from a nightclub and dumping her body like trash in the back of a cold-water tenement. He leaves no clues, and the investigation has led police down one blind alley after another.

Terrible narration

About the narration. The Scottish brogue is heavy and takes some getting used too. However, by the second listening I found I could keep up even at 1.2 speed. Nevertheless this is a special treat, so don’t be turned away by the accent.
Brilliant tale! Already listened twice!

Confused? Yeah. Get used to that. A lot is going on in this fanciful story. Truthfully, if I were a screenwriter, I'd turn this into a pure comedy about aging gangsters. Maybe Sean Connery would be willing to play the lead...
There's a lot of karmic irony happening to this motley crew of thugs, thieves, deceivers, murderers, and family. There are also a lot of hidden agendas, but isn't that the nature of the gangland lifestyle? I'll admit, if I didn't stay right on it, it was easy to lose the storyline for a bit. There is a multitude of ancillary characters, as well as a few last-minute WTH characters just when you thought you had a clue. None of these characters run very deep, but that's okay. This would be an epic piece if the author had sought to build backstories for all these wise guys. If you're the type of reader who likes to latch on to a hero in the story, well... good luck. They're all bad; just in varying degrees. So you may find a couple of sort-of-heroes.
Suspense fans who enjoy a genre-bending style, want more action than character-building, and appreciate quirky foul-mouthed personalities will find plenty to like here.
Old Gangsters Never Retire
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
And the plot...Ugh. I struggled to keep a clear understanding of who was whom... So many thugs and gangsters and miscreants. Keeping them straight was a challenge: names, first and last; affiliation: now and past coupled with an inconsistent narrators voice made it difficult to follow along. And almost no likable characters to root for.
For me this was an Almost.
