A violent drunk with a broken heart, Mackie looks for love in all the wrong places. When two hit men catch him with his pants down, he barely makes it out alive. Worse still, his ex-gangster uncle, Rab, has vanished, leaving him an empty house and a dead dog.
Reluctant PI Sam Ireland is hired by hotshot lawyers to track Rab but is getting nothing except blank stares and slammed doors. As she scours the dive bars, the dregs of Glasgow start to take notice.
DI Andy Lambert is a cop in the middle of an endless shift. A body washes up, and the city seems to shiver in fear; looks like it’s up to Lambert to clean up after the lowlifes again.
As a rampaging Mackie hunts his uncle, the scum of the city come out to play. And they play dirty. It seems that everyone has either a dark secret or a death wish. In Mackie’s case, it might just be both.

Jay Stringer was born in Walsall, England, in 1980. He’s not dead yet. He is dyslexic and approaches writing like a blood sport.
Before becoming a writer, Jay served his apprenticeship by working as a zookeeper, a bookseller, a video editor and a call centre lackey. He currently lives in Glasgow, Scotland, but dreams every night of the tall buildings and deep streets of New York.
All this literary mayhem is fun, but deep down what he really wants to do is write an episode of Doctor Who. Until then, you can find Jay writing about crime fiction at www.DoSomeDamage.com and comic books at www.Panels.net.
