This is how it's going to be from now on. When you're the lead gunman for a major organization, there's a lot of cleaning up . . .
It begins with two deaths: a money-man and a grass. Deaths that offer a unique opportunity to a man like Calum MacLean. A man who has finally had enough of killing.
Meanwhile, two of Glasgow's biggest criminal organizations are at quiet, deadly war with one another. And as Detective Michael Fisher knows, the biggest and bloodiest manoeuvres are yet to come . . .
The stunning conclusion to Malcolm Mackay's lauded Glasgow Trilogy, The Sudden Arrival of Violence will return readers to the city's underworld: a place of dark motives, dangerous allegiances and inescapable violence.
'Superb . . . Mackay is a true original, managing to conjure up a gripping new way of portraying city-noir . . . He's no longer a rising star. He's risen' Marcel Berlins, The Times
'Gripping and vivid, with a labyrinthine plot involving double- and triple-crossing . . . Mackay succeeds magnificently' Guardian
