A violent drunk with a broken heart, Mackie looks for love in all the wrong places. When two hit men catch him with his pants down, he barely makes it out alive. Worse still, his ex-gangster uncle, Rab, has vanished, leaving him an empty house and a dead dog.

Reluctant PI Sam Ireland is hired by hotshot lawyers to track Rab but is getting nothing except blank stares and slammed doors. As she scours the dive bars, the dregs of Glasgow start to take notice.

DI Andy Lambert is a cop in the middle of an endless shift. A body washes up, and the city seems to shiver in fear; looks like it's up to Lambert to clean up after the lowlifes again.

As a rampaging Mackie hunts his uncle, the scum of the city come out to play. And they play dirty. It seems that everyone has either a dark secret or a death wish. In Mackie's case, it might just be both.

I enjoyed the story line, but the performance was difficult. It was like they were having Russians doing Scottish accents.

Good Story Line

Top rate detective story, not a lull in the action. It's heartening to listen to an addition to the genre that is not derivative.
Also, the narration is masterful; such a pleasure to hear it in Glaswegian!

I made it through about 7 chapters. Worst Audible book I have ever listened to. Or at least tied with Stinker Let’s Loose. At. Least I should have known better on that one. A lead character named Stinker should have been a big clue. And I have listened to nearly 100.

The narrator’s tempo was horrible, but most of that could be attributable to the author’s writing style.
Calling it adolescent ramblings, may be kind. A 13 year old could do better. The violence was preposterous and the lead character’s’ reactions to it even more so.

It wasn’t amusing, it wasn’t clever, and it was just painful to listen to.

I couldn’t take it anymore.

I honestly thought the first chapter was going to turn out to be a joke. That it was someone daydreaming about being some hard-boiled cop. Ala Spaceman Spiff.

Alas, it was not to be. It lasted for at least 5 or so more chapters before I bailed.

I wasted a credit on this.

Painful.
