Before the Devil Knows You're Dead — Owen Mullen

An explosive new crime thriller from best-selling author, Owen Mullen.

Charlie's Back!

Gavin Law was a whistleblower.

Now he's missing.

Just another case for Glasgow PI, Charlie Cameron, until he discovers there is more to Law and his disappearance than anyone imagined.

Wallace Maitland, the surgeon responsible for leaving a woman brain-damaged may have abandoned his sacred oath and become a killer. Did the hospital which refused to accept responsibility for the tragedy have Law silenced permanently? Or, with his wife little more than a vegetable, has David Cooper, believing he has been betrayed yet again, taken justice into his own hands?

Charlie comes to realise the world of medicine can be a dangerous place.

Across the city, East End gangster, Sean Rafferty is preparing to exploit the already corrupt city council in a multi-million pound leisure development known as Riverside. The project will be good for Glasgow. But not everybody is keen to work with Rafferty.  

With more than money at stake, Sean will do anything to get his way. His motto, borrowed from his old man, is simple. Never take a no from somebody who can give you a yes.

If that means murder, then so be it.

Charlie has crossed Rafferty's path before and lived to tell the tale.

He may not be so lucky a second time.

“Terrifically gritty crime. Mullen does a great job.”

“There is such a chill with Owen Mullen's books that it makes me feel that this is happening somewhere in Glasgow right now.”
