DARK REMAINS (PB)

Glasgow in the '70s. Lawyer Bobby Carter did a lot of work for the wrong type of people. Now he’s dead and it was no accident. Besides a distraught family and a heap of powerful friends, Carter’s left behind his share of enemies. So, who dealt the fatal blow? DC Jack Laidlaw’s reputation precedes him. He’s not a team player, but he’s got a sixth sense for what’s happening on the streets. His boss chalks the violence up to the usual rivalries, but is it that simple? Ian Rankin has completed the story of Laidlaw's first case, half finished in manuscript at the time of Willie McIlvanney's death in 2015.
