Beschreibung

Glasgow, Scotland, 1981. The McLachlan family have dominated the criminal underworld for more than a decade. Masters in extortion, murder and heroin trafficking, they hold the city in their iron fist.

But a war is coming to Glasgow; a war unlike anything the McLachlans have known before. Over the course of one night, they will discover the wrath of one man: Jack "Gorilla" Grant, former spy and now freelance assassin.

And he plays by his own set of violent, unforgiving rules.

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury. Francis Quarles

Chapter One: The Shootout at Struans Bar

6.10 pm - Struan's Bar, Glasgow, November 1981

It was dark outside when the little killer came into the bar blasting. He was only there for answers, not to ask questions.

The fleshy-faced bartender, a tough scot from Dunfermline, had a brief moment to register the door calmly swinging open and a short figure emerging dressed in a dark suit, white shirt, dark tie, black leather gloves and sunglasses. The most remarkable thing about the well-dressed visitor was the pistol grip pump action shotgun attached to a one point sling looped around his shoulder. He looked like he knew his way around it comfortably.
