Shortlisted for the McIlvanney Prize for Scottish Crime Book of the
Year 2021 and the CWA Historical Dagger 2022 'A mesmerizing debut.
Early gangland Glasgow with the gloss razored off' – Peter James
'Peaky Blinders meets William McIlvanney in this rollocking
riveting read' – Adrian McKinty, bestselling author of The Chain
Glasgow, 1932. When the son-in-law of one of the city’s
wealthiest shipbuilders is found floating in the River Clyde with
his throat cut, it falls to Inspector Jimmy Dreghorn to lead the
murder case – despite sharing a troubled history with the
victim’s widow, Isla Lockhart. From the flying fists and flashing
blades of Glasgow’s gangland underworld, to the backstabbing
upper echelons of government and big business, Dreghorn and his
partner ‘Bonnie’ Archie McDaid will have to dig deep into
Glasgow society to find out who wanted the man dead and why. All
the while, a sadistic murderer stalks the post-war city leaving a
trail of dead bodies in their wake. As the case deepens, will
Dreghorn find the killer – or lose his own life in the process?
Edge of the Grave by Robbie Morrison is a dark historical crime
novel set in Glasgow, 1932. A city still recovering from the Great
War; split by religious division and swarming with razor gangs. For
fans of William McIlvanney’s Laidlaw, Denise Mina and Philip
Kerr. 'A magnificent and enthralling portrait of a dark and
dangerous city . . . Chilling and brutal, but also deeply moving
and, most importantly, beautifully written' – Mark Billingham
