"A Harvest Book."

"He was drinking too much - not for pleasure, just sipping it systematically, like low-proof hemlock. His marriage was a maze nobody had ever mapped, an infinity of habit and hurt and betrayal. He was a policeman, a Detective Inspector, and more and more he wondered how that had happened. This is Detective Jack Laidlaw, a policeman as complex and self-critical as you'll ever meet. He becomes involved in the case of Jennifer Lawson, an eighteen-year-old girl who is brutally murdered by a boy who seems confused about his sexual identity. Laidlaw's investigation takes us deep into Glasgow's underbelly, a bleak and sinister world where shifting loyalties and double-dealing are the rule rather than the exception."--p. [4] of cover.

Mystery fiction.
