Dead Men and Broken Hearts

‘Tough, uncompromising and insightful … Russell has brilliantly captured post-war Glasgow and the vulnerability of those left to pick up the pieces’ Michael Robotham

‘A crime story that transcends the genre…This is storytelling at its very best!’ Michael Connelly

Investigator Lennox just can’t stay out of trouble.

Lennox is looking for legitimate cases - anything’s better than working for the Three Kings, the crime bosses who run Glasgow’s underworld. So when a woman comes into his office and hires him to follow her husband, it seems the perfect case.

And, unusually for Lennox, it’s legal.

But this isn’t a simple case of marital infidelity. When the people he’s following start to track him, once more Lennox must draw on the violent, war-damaged part of his personality as he follows this trail of dead men and broken hearts.

The fourth in a unique and memorable crime series, Dead Men and Broken Hearts is gritty, fast-paced, mordantly funny and totally compelling.

Praise for award-winning writer Craig Russell:

‘Another brilliantly sharp, witty and tough take on a hard city at a hard time … a former cop, Russell is Britain’s rising crime-writing star’ Daily Mirror

‘Through his humorous lens, time and place become razor-sharp … The lightness of touch is a breath of fresh air in this most crowded of genres … This is tartan neo-noir at its most entertaining’ Sunday Herald
