From Kirkus Reviews:
Another of the author's workmanlike procedurals dealing mostly with Glasgow's grungy underclass of petty thieves and drug addicts. Among them here are Shane Dodemaide and Eddie Wroe, who share squatters' quarters in a rotting, abandoned building--as well as the favors of an upper-class addict named Veronica. Now, Eddie has been found stabbed to death in an alleyway, a knife with Shane's fingerprints lying nearby. Aging Detective Ray Sussock (Condition Purple, 1989) is sure that Shane is their killer. But Detective- Inspector Fabian Donoghue finds some crucial flaws in the case against him and concentrates on the disappearance of Veronica--a rewarding avenue, as it turns out. Along the way, some minor cases are handily solved; there are also gritty, sometimes pathetic characters, plus a full complement of likable policemen, in a steadily interesting story. Sturdy fare for procedural fans. -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. BH5 - A first edition (First published 1991 stated) hardcover book in very good condition in very good dust jacket. Dust jacket and book have some bumped corners, light tanning and shelf wear. Although not marked in any way, this copy comes from the personal collection of Otto Penzler, legendary editor and founder of the Mysterious Press, an award-winning icon in the genre. A Glasgow P Division procedural. 8.75"x5.25", 158 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. The body of a young man is found in a city centre alley. He has been stabbed to death and the murder weapon is lying close by, apparently discarded in panic. The fingerprints found on the knife proved to belong to a known associate of the deceased. It appears to be a motiveless murder, the result of a drunken brawl. But the officers of Glasgow's P Division do not accept things at face value and begin to unravel a tale of premeditation and subterfuge. In doing so they follow a trail which leads via the squalid world of the frug addict to the prosperous ambience of the city's most prominent citizens. "Procedural" is an inadequate word for the squalid dramas of the naked city or the author's ability to get inside his characters' skins, the cooper on his beat, the whore on hers,' said Christopher Wordsworth in the Observer, reviewing Peter Turnbull's last novel, Condition Purple. His growing array of readers will certainly agree. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 2206ec914
