The Scotsman

The Scotsman

By Rob McClure

Genre:-Crime Fiction/Police Procedural

Pages:-399

Publisher:-Black Spring Crime

Blurb:-Chic Cowan will do anything to find his daughter's killer...even sacrifice his own sanity...and maybe he wasn't all that sane to start with...

 Six months ago, tough-as-nails, old-school. no-time-for-the new-school Glasgow Detective Chic Cowan received a call no parent should have to take. His daughter has been murdered, 4,000 miles away from their home in Scotland.

 Across the Atlantic ocean to a United States riven by protests and riots. Determined to find out the truth, his way, and bring justice to those who killed his daughter, Cowan travels from Glasgow to Washington D.C., intent on discovering what happened. And Chic Cowan is both sarcastic, and brutal, when he has to be.

 Taking him from the deprivation of Southeast D.C. to the opulence of Capitol Hill, Cowan soon realises that not only were his suspicions correct, but his daughter's murder may be only the beginning of a story that could have far-reaching implications for society itself. Driven by grief and obsession, Cowan sets out to find his own justice. Because the justice currently on offer just isn't good enough...

 Set during the turbulence of a divided America, a plot that engages with what 'woke' means, and the realities of policing, The Scotsman is the blistering debut from a new Tartan Noir talent. This is Rebus meets Taken.

My Review:-Scottish DI Chic Cowan hears of his daughters murder while he's in rehab, but there's something else, her body was found 4,000 miles away in Washington DC. Arriving in Washington DC he is confronted with problems, nobody wants to talk to him. Chic is old-school and when he sets his mind to something he'll not stop. Chic wants the truth about his daughter's murder, but will he find it?

 Rob McClure has created a storyline and a character, Chic that works well together. I'm looking forward in seeing what is next for DI Chic Cowan.
