What you need to know before your trail

New Year’s Eve should be a time for celebrating. Watching the fireworks, the celebrations as one year ends and another begins

Not for DSI William Lorimer, however. The only loud bangs he’s interested in are the gunshots reported at an incident – and when he gets there,  the carnage he finds there will have a powerful impact on his life – leaving him questioning his future with Police Scotland.

If that’s not all –  the man who eluded police capture during Lorimer’s last investigation – the Quiet Release case involving the euthanasia of vulnerable patients – is back, and this time he’s aligned with a powerful gangster from Glasgow’s underworld.

Travel Guide

Glasgow

“The city was all his, Gallagher told himself , swinging round to face the huge window overlooking the rooftops of Central Glasgow. St Vincent Street swept upwards past the busy shopping thoroughfare to the graceful old office buildings where rows of well -tended window boxes were displayed from early springtime.”

Somewhere to eat? La Lanterna restaurant

The restaurant where two characters go to talk is on Hope Street and as its name suggests, has lanterns outside which shine light into the dark street.

Scottish Crime Campus

Yes this is a real place despite sounding like something out of a film – it brings together a number of Crime Fighting Agencies into a single campus and promotes collaboration and innovation across services. It’s mainly made up of offices but also has forensic laboratories and accommodation for those working there.
