The Tower
Synopsis
Set in the south side of Glasgow, amid the bleakness of crime, poverty, drugs and violence, THE TOWER transcends Tartan Noir. At its heart is a struggle between good and evil for the soul of a lost community. Honest, brutal and unflinching, it is literary fiction at its best.

Reviews
“The writing is superlative, a cross between William McIlvanney and Graham Greene, a fusion of LAIDLAW and THE HEART OF THE MATTER.†– Brendan Gisby, McVoices

Really enjoyed this book. Dark yet humorous story based in the South Side of Glasgow. Captured this environment perfectly!
Great
Gripping and authentic but less swearing would've been even better.
A fast - paced, well-balanced novel with a twist at the end which keeps interest right to the last page .
Superb writing, real Glaswegian characters and a cliffhanging story. Forget Tartan Noir; this is much better!
