THE LAWYER: THE 52-MINUTE GAP - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In Glasgow, the law is just a suggestion. The truth is a dangerous weapon.

He doesn’t have a practicing certificate. He doesn’t have a corner office. He has a corner booth in a West End pub, a pot of his own black tea, and a mind that reads murder indictments like poetry.
They call him The Lawyer. And when the police get the timeline wrong, they call him, too.
When the body of twenty-two-year-old woman is pulled from the freezing, tidal mud of the River Clyde, the police have their man in less than twenty-four hours. A naive yard-hand with a minor criminal record, was seen arguing with her at a party. He was seen near the river. He’s guilty. The case is closed.

But Barry McBride sees what the police missed. Barry knows the truth.
But in a city built on sandstone and secrets, the truth doesn't set you free. It just makes you a target.


Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, Denise Mina, and William McIlvanney.
