Description

A brand new crime series from the award-winning author of the Harry McCoy books

'One of the great Scottish writers' The Times

March 1941. Joseph Gunner, an ex-cop of Swedish heritage, arrives back in Glasgow after being wounded in combat. His old boss Drummond persuades him to help investigate a body found in the wreckage of a bombed-out building. When the body turns out to be of a German, mutilated to disguise his identity, Gunner finds himself embroiled in a high level conspiracy that may well cost him his life.

Partly inspired by the true story of Rudolph Hess' secret mission to broker appeasement with Britain during WWII, Gunner is a thrilling and compelling novel.
