The final twist will make you shout * * The Times * * Beautifully crafted tartan noir, pinpoint precision of characterisation with storytelling par excellence. Crime writing of the highest order -- CARO RAMSAY Fast-paced * * Scotsman * * Praise for the Harry McCoy series: Alan Parks recreates a world of urban blight and spiritual decay . . . a remarkable series that began with Bloody January. The novels, as someone once said, can be read in any order; the important thing is to read them all * * The Times * * The Harry McCoy books by the bold Alan Parks just get better and better. May God Forgive starts like a runaway train and just keeps going. If you're not already reading these books, get onto them now -- LIAM McILVANNEY May God Forgive is crime fiction which pulls no punches, powerfully told and, at times, heartbreakingly poignant. One of the crime novels of 2022 -- MIKE RIPLEY 1970s Glasgow hewn from flesh and drawn in blood -- PETER MAY This is Scottish noir at its gritty darkest . . . Behind his bloody-minded disrespect for his superiors and sardonic wit, McCoy is a tough and instinctive copper who learned his skills on the beat. A cracking read * * Irish Independent * * An old-school cop novel written with wit and economy . . . Think McIlvanney or Get Carter -- IAN RANKIN Bloody and brilliant. This smasher from Alan Parks is a reminder of how dark Glasgow used to be -- LOUISE WELSH
