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. 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.
