Description

Giving them back their names is one thing; giving them justice is quite another.

A visit to Glasgow for a job interview in 1931 unexpectedly places Cuthbert at the centre of a devastating crime. Unwittingly, he finds himself working at the intersection between rising British fascism, anti-Semitism and the infamous Glasgow razor gangs. To solve the case, Cuthbert needs to rely on all the expertise he can gather from those around him. But who can he trust

Reviews

'The two earlier books in the series were outstanding and "To the Shades Descend" is a worthy successor, adding the interest of a fresh location to many of the ingredients readers of the earlier books will recognise. I found myself drawn into the story and caring about the central characters'
