A Death in Glasgow
Format:
Pre-order:
When Holly Campbell’s body is found on the train tracks at Glasgow Central, police quickly rule it a suicide.
She’d had a troubled past. She’d tried before.
But Sergeant May Mackay can’t let one detail go. If Holly never wanted to come home, why did she buy a return ticket?
Driven by her own haunting loss and a promise to Holly’s grieving mother, May is determined to solve the mystery.
But the deeper she digs, the more sinister the truth becomes.
Someone is hiding a terrible secret. And they’ll do whatever it takes to keep it buried.
Even if it means silencing May for good…

"Macrae has created a brilliantly Weegie cast of conflicted, tormented characters who have real emotional depth and coupled it to a plot with the pace of a runaway train. Once you're on board there's no way off." - Callum McSorley, author of Squeaky Clean, the McIlvanney Prize winner for best Scottish Crime Book of the Year
"Chillingly authentic with a protagonist to root for... I absolutely loved it." - Claire Wilson, author of Five by Five
'Absorbing, gritty and real… this book was right up my street. Sergeant May Mackay was a breath of fresh air in the crime thriller arena. I can’t wait to read more about her.’ - Mel Sherratt, author of the DS Allie Shenton series
