The Dark Remains
The Dark Remains | Ian Rankin, William McIlvanney
4 posts | 4 read
If the truth's in the shadows, get out of the light . . . Lawyer Bobby Carter did a lot of work for the wrong type of people. Now he’s dead and it was no accident. Besides a distraught family and a heap of powerful friends, Carter’s left behind his share of enemies. So, who dealt the fatal blow? DC Jack Laidlaw’s reputation precedes him. He’s not a team player, but he’s got a sixth sense for what’s happening on the streets. His boss chalks the violence up to the usual rivalries, but is it that simple? As two Glasgow gangs go to war, Laidlaw needs to find out who got Carter before the whole city explodes. William McIlvanney’s Laidlaw books changed the face of crime fiction. When he died in 2015, he left half a handwritten manuscript of Laidlaw’s first case. Now, Ian Rankin is back to finish what McIlvanney started. In The Dark Remains, these two iconic authors bring to life the criminal world of 1970s Glasgow, and Laidlaw’s relentless quest for truth.

A Pick, because I read it in a day, but I did almost think we would run out of book before the killer‘s identity was revealed. Seamless join between Rankin and McIlvanney, so well done.

This was great! Coming out in September, I got to read it via Netgalley and decided to read it as soon as the approval came in.

Great characters! Great Scottish mob crime story.
