"When a teenage boy shoots a young woman dead in the
middle of a busy Glasgow street and then commits suicide,
Detective Harry McCoy is sure of one thing. It wasn't a
random act of violence.With his new partner in tow, McCoy
uses his underworld network to lead the investigation but
soon runs up against a secret society led by Glasgow's
wealthiest family, the Dunlops. McCoy's boss doesn't want
him to investigate. The Dunlops seem untouchable. But
McCoy has other ideas... In a helter-skelter tale -
winding from moneyed elite to hipster music groupies to
the brutal gangs of the urban wasteland - Bloody January
brings to life the dark underbelly of 1970s Glasgow and
establishes Alan Parks as a new and exciting voice in
Scottish noir."--Provided by publisher.
