Brond — Frederic Lindsay

After witnessing the mysterious Brond push a child off Kelvingrove Bridge, student Robert is drawn into Brond's plan to trap a dangerous IRA killer. Brond is a high-octane page-turner, full of political intrigue, a tale of evil and exploitation in the nightmarish landscape of a Glasgow where nothing is as it seems. Lindsay's writing is formidable and at its most thrilling and most unpredictable here. Brond was adapted into a memorable three-part series for Channel 4, directed by Michael Caton-Jones, and starring John Hannah and Stratford Johns.
