Loved the first book in this series - LENNOX - so picking up the second with a serious sense of anticipation. Set in post WWII Glasgow this is a really fascinating glimpse into the underworld of Glasgow in the 1950's.
From the Blurb:
Glasgow in the 1950s - not somewhere you'd choose to be unless you were born to it. Yet Lennox, a private investigator of Canadian descent, finds it oddly congenial. Lennox is a man balanced between the law and those who break it - a dangerous place where only the toughest and most ruthless survive.
'There are some concepts that are alien to the Glaswegian mind. Salad. Dentistry. Forgiveness.'

Glasgow bookie and greyhound breeder Jimmy 'Small Change' MacFarlane runs one of the biggest operations at Glasgow's dog-racing track. When MacFarlane is bludgeoned to death with a bronze statue of Danny Boy, his best racer, Lennox has a solid gold alibi - he had spent the night with MacFarlane's daughter.
