Deep and Crisp and Even
by Peter Turnbull
Glasgow was under snow, deep and crisp and even - and still it fell. PC Phil Hamilton sees a pedestrian knifed and fall dead in Argyle Street, but the snow immediately covers the killer's tracks. Soon another man is knifed, and again found by PC Hamilton. Soon vigilantes are patrolling the streets and anyone and everyone falls under suspicion from both them and the police investigating the murders.Turnbull's experience as a Glasgow social worker enables him to draw authentic characters from every walk of life, and he perfectly captures the atmosphere of menace and fear overtaking the snowbound city.
