As poverty and crime drag the city deeper into a heroin epidemic, fighting in the streets has become depressingly mundane. But when an eighteen-year-old boy shoots a young woman dead in broad daylight and then commits suicide, Det. Harry McCoy knows it can't be a simple act of random violence. With a newbie partner in tow, McCoy hunts down leads through the underworld, all of which lead to a secret society run by Glasgow's wealthiest family, the Dunlops.\u003cbr\u003eAmong their inner circle, every nefarious predilection is catered to at the expense of society's most vulnerable--including McCoy's best friend from reformatory school, drug-tsar Stevie Cooper, and his on-off girlfriend, a prostitute named Janey. But with McCoy's boss calling off the hounds, and his boss' boss unleashing their own, the Dunlops seem to be untouchable. McCoy has other ideas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Parks' debut novel has an in-your-face immediacy that matches its protagonist. Compelling portraits of minor characters tucked into several scenes add texture and interest.\"--\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"World Noir","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47595535532183,"sku":"9781609454487","price":1777.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781609454487.webp?v=1774990159","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bloody-january-9781609454487","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
