‘Bloody and brilliant. This smasher from Alan Parks is a reminder of how dark Glasgow used to be’ LOUISE WELSH

'Taut, violent and as close as you'll get to 1970s Glasgow without a Tardis. Parks is a natural successor to William McIIvanney.' JOHN NIVEN

'A blistering plot, unforgettable characters and writing so sharp it's like it's been written with a knife. Detective McCoy is a true noir antihero and Bloody January firmly sets Alan Parks in the same league as Ian Rankin and Louise Welsh.’ SARAH PINBOROUGH
 
‘Seriously good. Its brilliantly evocative of the 1970s in Glasgow (and I should know as I was there!). I loved Alan Parks’ characters and I want to read a lot more of Detective Harry McCoy please!’  ALEX GRAY

‘A barnstormer of a crime novel that takes the police procedural and gives it a well-deserved shake. Bloody January is relentless readable and so well written I couldn’t believe it was a debut’ RUSSELL McLEAN
