“Author of four novels set in Glasgow in the 1970s, Parks specializes in ‘Tartan Noir,’ and brings this difficult city to life in each one, recognizing the horrors of violence and the underlying economic conditions which make any kind of ‘ordinary life’ there a dark challenge. He sees life as it is and depicts it in all its grim reality.
With non-stop action, constant surprises, deaths and near-deaths, torture, torment, and evil involving virtually all the ‘good’ institutions civilization counts on for its existence, Alan Parks raises some thought-provoking issues on many levels.”
