'A masterpiece by the woman who may be Britain's finest living
crime novelist' Daily Telegraph 'Absorbing... this is a bravura
performance, a true original' Ian Rankin Glasgow, 1957. It is a
December night and William Watt is desperate. His family has been
murdered and he needs to find out who killed them. He arrives at a
bar to meet Peter Manuel, who claims he can get hold of the gun
that was used. But Watt soon realises that this infamous criminal
will not give up information easily. Inspired by true events, The
Long Drop follows Watt and Manuel along back streets and into smoky
pubs, and on to the courtroom where the murder trial takes place.
Can Manuel really be trusted to tell the truth? And how far will
Watt go to get what he wants? **A TIMES TOP 10 CRIME NOVEL OF THE
DECADE** __________________ Praise for THE LONG DROP:
