Open wounds by Douglas Skelton.
Davie McCall is tired. Tired of violence, tired of the Life. He's always managed to stay detached from the brutal nature of his line of work, but recently he has caught himself enjoying it.

In the final instalment in the Davie McCall series old friends clash and long buried secrets are unearthed as McCall investigates a brutal five-year-old crime.

Davie wants out, but the underbelly of Glasgow is all he has ever known. Will what he learns about his old ally Big Rab McClymont be enough to get him out of the Life? And could the mysterious woman who just moved in upstairs be just what he needs?

This was a good read with likeable characters. I found it slow . 3*.

The 'final' book in the quite brilliant Davie McCall series - or is it? I hope not. Davie is one of crime writing's great character inventions. A must for a TV or film adaptation. Skelton is hugely talented and totally under appreciated crime writer and this series of four books deserves a much wider following that it has currently received. Davie is the Cool Hand Luke bad boy of the Glasgow underworld; read him and enjoy!
