She was someone’s daughter . . .
In 1930, the killing of a Soho prostitute is hardly a priority for Scotland Yard. But when a second, similar murder comes to light, and then a third, everything changes. Cuthbert and his team find themselves in a nightmarish world of people-trafficking, prostitution and drug use amongst the upper classes.
Using all his forensic skills, Cuthbert sets out to solve one of the most baffling cases of his career. One final question remains unanswered until a faded photograph reveals its tragic secret.
Longlisted for the McIlvanney Scottish Crime Book of the Year 2025.
Allan will be appearing at Bloody Scotland this year. You can book your tickets at BloodyScotland.com
Setting the (Crime) Scene: Lin Anderson, Simon Toyne, Allan Gaw
Friday 12th September – 12:30
Setting the (Crime) Scene: Lin Anderson, Simon Toyne, Allan Gaw
We make a deep incision into the world of crime fiction and science fact as we talk forensics with three authors whose books deliver thrills, chills and blood-spattered spills.
A gangland slaying and a missing movie star are at the heart of Whispers of the Dead, the sensational new Rhona MacLeod thriller from Lin Anderson. Forensic criminologist Laughton Rees faces a race against time to stop a killer in Simon Toyne’s exhilarating new novel Dead Water. Allan Gaw’s pathologist Dr Jack Cuthbert runs the gauntlet between fascists and razor gangs in 1930s Glasgow in To the Shades Descend.
This event will be chaired by Professor James Grieve.
