Brian Cox
In this scorching crime prequel, New York Times best-selling author Ian Rankin and Scottish crime-writing legend William McIlvanney join forces for the first ever case of DI Laidlaw, Glasgow’s original gritty detective.
Listeners will relish the return to McIlvanney’s Glasgow, with its gangs, organized crime bosses, crooked politics, corrupt police, hard men, and innocent battlers caught in the crossfire. In the midst of this melee stands DI Jack Laidlaw, as memorable a noir character as has ever been created.

I have listened to the recently published postmortem pastiche coauthored by Ian Ranken and read by Brian Cox. It doesn’t stink, but it doesn’t come close to this one.
The only one

First, the story is simpler and darker. Some will like that but it’s not for me.
Second, at times, the performance and story felt like it was a Glaswegian version of anDick Tracy book. Again, not to my taste.
Good but not great

It went from ho hum to masterful in the first few sentences. I darn near missed it.
Not a fan of this midcentury hard boiled cop shop gangster mystery style ....but it is way more than that. Loved it!

Ian Rankin did a good job of completing McIlvanney’s story.
Poor narration made a mess of the story
