Ex-police officer Blake Glover's past threatens to catch up with him and destroy his small town life in this second instalment of the Blake Glover Crime series by Bloody Scotland co-founder Gordon Brown writing as Morgan Cry.
'The Cost is a decidedly moreish thriller that will leave you hankering for just one more chapter' Ian Rankin Ex-police constable and now taxi driver Blake Glover thought retiring to his hometown of Fraserburgh would be calm - until, while attending a local funeral service, he notices something disturbing: did the sturdy expensive coffin split as it was lowered into the grave? How could this be possible? Is there a cruel scheme taking place?
As if this wasn't enough, one of Blake's customers from the night before has gone missing and Blake is the last person to have seen him alive.
To make matters even worse, Blake is contacted by his old colleague-turned-nemesis, Mitch Campbell - now imprisoned in Glasgow's HMP Barlinnie. Mitch is threatening to frame Blake unless he agrees to a dangerous request.
Torn between helping friends, confronting a past enemy and uncovering dark deeds, Blake is dragged into a toxic world of small-town tragedy and big-city drama. As he tries to untangle the truth, he underestimates just how deadly things will become . . .
An intricately plotted, twisty and clever Tartan noir thriller by Scottish crime writer Morgan Cry - perfect for fans of IAN RANKIN, VAL McDERMID, DENISE MINA and WILLIAM McILVANNEY.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Gordon Brown, also writing as Morgan Cry, has twelve crime and thriller books published to date, along with a novella and a number of short stories.
Gordon is a founding director of Bloody Scotland, Scotland's International Crime Writing Festival and runs a strategic planning consultancy. He lives in Scotland (and when Brexit rules allow, Spain) and is married with two children - who have long since flown the nest.
In a former life Gordon delivered pizzas in Toronto, sold non-alcoholic beer in the Middle East, launched a creativity training business, floated a high tech company on the London Stock Exchange, compered the main stage at a two-day music festival and was once booed by 49,000 people while on the pitch at a major football Cup Final.
