'Brian McGilloway blends timeless values with
ripped-from-the-headlines issues to produce some of the very best
crime fiction being written today' Lee Child A young man is found
in a riverside park, his head bashed in with a rock. The only clue
to his identity is an admission stamp for the local gay club. DS
Lucy Black is called in to investigate. As Lucy delves into the
community, tensions begin to rise as the man's death draws the
attention of the local gay rights group to a hate-speech Pastor
who, days earlier, had advocated the stoning of gay people and who
refuses to retract his statement. Things become more complicated
with the emergence of a far right group targeting immigrants in a
local working-class estate. As their attacks escalate, Lucy and her
boss, Tom Fleming, must also deal with the building power struggle
between an old paramilitary commander and his deputy that threatens
to further enflame an already volatile situation. Hatred and
complicity abound in the days leading up to the Brexit vote in
McGilloway's new Lucy Black thriller. Compelling and current, Bad
Blood is an expertly crafted and acutely observed page-turner. 'Set
just before the Brexit vote, this book explores important questions
of community and identity. McGilloway shies away from easy answers;
instead he gives us a tense and beautifully-written crime novel
that takes the reader into lives that aren't seen often enough' Ann
