Now they want her dead . . . _______________2014: The Commonwealth Games are coming to Glasgow and security is extra tight, particularly after a mysterious bomb explodes in nearby rural Stirlingshire. As the opening ceremony for the Games draws ever closer, the police desperately seek the culprits. But Detective Superintendent Lorimer has other concerns on his mind. One is a beautiful red-haired woman from his past whose husband dies suddenly on his watch. Then there is the body of a young woman found dumped in countryside just south of the city who is proving impossible to identify. Elsewhere in Glasgow people prepare for the events in their own way, whether for financial gain or to welcome home visitors from overseas. And, hiding behind false identities, are those who pose a terrible threat not just to the Games but to the very fabric of society. Whether you’ve read them all, or whether you’re coming to Alex Gray’s highly acclaimed Lorimer series for the very first time, this is the perfect, page-turning winter read if you love Ann Cleeves, Val McDermid or Ian Rankin. _______________ ***PRAISE FOR ALEX GRAY*** ‘Convincing Glaswegian atmosphere and superior writing’ The Times ‘Brings Glasgow to life in the same way Rankin evokes Edinburgh’ Daily Mail ‘Exciting, pacy, authentic’ Angela Marsons ‘Sums up everything that is golden and enthralling about a good book’ Fully Booked]]>
