The Quaker

Liam McIlvanney

Duncan McCormack, bk. 1

1969: Glasgow has been brought to its knees by a killer whose name fills the streets with fear - the Quaker. He's taken three women from the same nightclub and brutally murdered them in the backstreets. Now, six months later, the police are left chasing a ghost, with no new leads or hope of catching their prey. They call in DI McCormack, a talented young detective from the Highlands. But his arrival is met with anger from a group of officers on the brink of despair. Soon he learns how difficult life can be for an outsider, for he fits the description in more ways than one. When another woman is found murdered in a run-down tenement flat, McCormack follows a trail of secrets that will change the city - and his life - forever..
