Synopsis

A government minister is found at first light, naked and nailed to a motorway gantry above the M8. The words LANE CLOSED are tattooed across his chest. He is the man who sold Scotland its smart motorways.

DCI Terry Lomax has thirty-two years on the job, a failing hip, and a killer the whole country is quietly cheering for. As bodies stack up in perfect eight-second intervals, Lomax must decide whose side of the barrier he is really on.

A wickedly dark, wickedly funny Glasgow crime debut for readers of Ian Rankin, Val McDermid and Chris Brookmyre.
