DEAD MEN AND BROKEN HEARTS Paperback – 24 September 2019 by Craig Russell
Craig Russell . Constable . English
''Tough, uncompromising and insightful . . . Russell has brilliantly captured post-war Glasgow and the vulnerability of those left to pick up the pieces'' Michael Robotham ''A crime story that transcends the genre. . .This is storytelling at its very best!'' Michael Connelly Investigator Lennox just can''t stay out of trouble. Lennox is looking for legitimate cases - anything''s better than working for the Three Kings, the crime bosses who run Glasgow''s underworld. So when a woman comes into his office and hires him to follow her husband, it seems the perfect case. And, unusually for Lennox, it''s legal. But this isn''t a simple case of marital infidelity. When the people he''s following start to track him, once more Lennox must draw on the violent, war-damaged part of his personality as he follows this trail of dead men and broken hearts. The fourth in a unique and memorable crime series, Dead Men and Broken Hearts is gritty, fast-paced, mordantly funny and totally compelling. Praise for award-winning writer Craig Russell: ''Another brilliantly sharp, witty and tough take on a hard city at a hard time . . . a former cop, Russell is Britain''s rising crime-writing star'' Daily Mirror ''Through his humorous lens, time and place become razor-sharp ... The lightness of touch is a breath of fresh air in this most crowded of genres . . . This is tartan neo-noir at its most entertaining'' Sunday Herald
