'This is Peaky Blinders territory. Packed with dramatic action and
unforgettable characters, it casts a hypnotic spell and stirs the
blood' Daily Mail 'A darkly compelling thriller . . . Morrison
succeeds in summoning Depression-era Glasgow in a powerful work of
crime fiction' The Sunday Times Glasgow, 1933 Murder is nothing new
in the Depression-era city, especially to war veterans Inspector
Jimmy Dreghorn and his partner ‘Bonnie’ Archie McDaid. But the
dead man found in a narrowboat on the Forth and Clyde Canal,
executed with a single shot to the back of the head, is no ordinary
killing. Violence usually erupts in the heat of the moment – the
razor-gangs that stalk the streets settle scores with knives and
fists. Firearms suggest something more sinister, especially when
the killer strikes again. Meanwhile, other forces are stirring
within the city. A suspected IRA cell is at large, embedded within
the criminal gangs and attracting the ruthless attention of Special
Branch agents from London. With political and sectarian tensions
rising, and the body count mounting, Dreghorn and McDaid pursue an
investigation into the dark heart of humanity – where one
person's freedom fighter is another's terrorist, and noble ideals
are swept away by bloody vengeance. Cast a Cold Eye by Robbie
Morrison is a dark historical crime novel and the sequel to Edge of
the Grave, winner of Bloody Scotland's Scottish Crime Debut of the
Year.
