|summary=As the snow starts to fall on Glasgow in 1947 the worst winter has yet to make its teeth felt - likewise, as small domestic crime spree grows into something much worse for investigating reporter Duncan Brodie. A distinctive voice, vicious crime against sharp political backdrops and characters you can genuinely warm to - what's not to love? Add intelligence, fluidity and tight plotting. I think we'll see a lot more of Duncan Brodie.

It's 1947, the worst winter in memory is only just getting started, and Duncan Brodie is a crime reporter working the streets of Glasgow for the Gazette. The reason he's good at reporting is probably just natural talent and a decent education. The reason he's good at crime is that he's a trained investigator.
