Prequel to the Inspector Laidlaw series: the first investigation of the celebrated Glasgow detective.

Aimed at fans of Scottish noir and the crime genre, especially those who want to discover the detective Laidlaw's first case.
William Angus McIlvanney was a Scottish novelist, short story writer, and poet. He was known as Gus by friends and acquaintances. McIlvanney was a champion of gritty yet poetic literature; his works Laidlaw, The Papers of Tony Veitch, and Walking Wounded are all known for their portrayal of Glasgow in the 1970s. He is regarded as "the father of Tartan Noir" and as Scotland's Camus.
