However, the enduring legacy of Bonnie and Clyde’s story binds them together for eternity. People remain enthralled by this criminal couple’s story — their relationship, their violent crimes, and their bloody demise. And eerily, Bonnie and Clyde’s death photos continue to fascinate the public. This very entertaining book is the 1st volume of the "DCI Lomond Crime Thriller" series from the Scottish author, Andrew Raymond. Now, with nothing but work left in his life, Lomond remains obsessed with the case–despite the nightmares it brings. Could the Sandman’s identity lie buried in the coldest of cold cases? Or is a new killer about to claim their first victim?
The Shortlist is shot through with Andrew Raymond’s dark Glaswegian humour and thrilling twists. Taking you from his beloved home city to the north west coast of Scotland. If you like writers like JD Kirk, Ian Rankin, and Stuart MacBride, this addictive thriller will have you gripped until its haunting, heart-in-the-mouth climax.Hello? You are indicating that a paedophile succumbed to his urges 20 years ago…yet somehow there are 10 years between one murder and the other. It is said the man was fired for grooming! In an online chat but no one did anything, not even open a case AND his colleague knew about his preferences but didn’t even come forward then? How did he meet Sharon? Why did the collude? There is no history behind this… When legendary crime novelist William MacRae is found murdered in his Glasgow home, Police Scotland’s premier investigator DCI John Lomond is put on the case. They enlisted Methvin’s father, whom Bonnie and Clyde knew, to wait on the side of the road as bait. Then, they waited. And waited. Finally, around 9 a.m. on May 23, the police saw Clyde’s stolen Ford V8 speeding down the road. Soon afterward, their life of crime began in earnest, as the duo started committing several robberies together. But before long, Clyde Barrow’s crimes began to escalate. After one of his accomplices killed a store owner in 1932, Clyde decided to go on the run. And he took Bonnie with him. Their quest for the truth is aided by Rebecca Fox, a talented GCHQ analyst. Official Secrets is undoubtedly well-researched with a dash of sassy humor. Mistrust and conspiracy are rife, but the main characters, Novak and Mitchell, are easy to like and connect with. Andrew Raymond creates a surreal sense of place such that your imagination does not have to work extra hard to place itself, allowing you to focus on the main cast and the storyline.
Five years ago, DCI John Lomond led the search for notorious Glasgow child-killer ‘The Sandman’, until personal tragedy forced him off the case. Scottish noir seems to be all the rage lately, with series after series set in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and the like. Some are good, some not so good. This book has to be one of the best. Han is a collector and dedicated reader of banned books. When he encounters Mae, the two create a bond, and they begin attending a secret book club together, which eventually leads them down a dangerous path.Characters like mowat are introduced and then dumped when they have no more use. The man broke into a private residence (as did the cop btw) and no one does anything… when you write a police procedural… know the procedures. Lone Ranger bs is not an option. Could the Sandman's identity lie buried in the coldest of cold cases? Or is a new killer about to claim their first victim?
