Pilgrim soul - Gordon Ferris

From the author of The Hanging Shed comes the third instalment in the Douglas Brodie
series. It's
1947 and the worst winter in memory: Glasgow is buried in snow,
killers
stalk the streets - and Douglas Brodie's past is engulfing him.
It starts small. The Jewish community in Glasgow asks Douglas Brodie,
ex-policeman turned journalist, to solve a series of burglaries. The
police don't care and Brodie needs the cash. Brodie solves the crime
but
the thief is found dead, butchered by the owner of the house he was
robbing. When the householder in turn is murdered, the whole community
is in uproar - and Brodie's simple case of theft disintegrates into
chaos.
Into the mayhem strides Danny McRae - Brodie's old
sparring partner from
when they policed Glasgow's mean streets. Does
Danny bring with him the
seeds of redemption or retribution? As the
murder tally mounts, Brodie
discovers tainted gold and a blood-stained
trail back to the concentration camps. Back to the horrors that haunt
his dreams. Glasgow
is overflowing with Jewish refugees. But have their
persecutors pursued
them? And who will be next to die?

GORDON FERRIS is an ex-techie in the Ministry of Defence and an ex-partner in one of the Big Four accountancy firms. He is the author of the No. 1 bestselling eBook The Hanging Shed.

Gordon Ferris is the natural heir of Stevenson and Buchan - great feel of authenticity, and a terrific narrative drive.
