Never Proven (DCI Charlie Anderson Book 4)

Another well constructed story with twists until the final pages. I don’t know Glasgow but get the feeling you could find your way around the streets based on the descriptions, assuming they are correct.

Early In this book we know who is the murderer. There are several suspects.Which one is it ? Held in suspense all along.

An authentic setting of Glasgow's West End provides a perfect setting for the Charlie Anderson series, the latest of which, Never Proven, offers a good story and lots of twists in the tail.

IT consultant John Preston is found murdered on the streets of Glasgow, mobile missing, a hefty cash sum in his jacket. To DCI Charlie Anderson, it smells like a trap -- a victim lured to his death by someone he knew. On the same night, two local villains enact a grisly crucifixion scene in the toilets of a run-down pub.In Anderson's fourth assignment, his toughest yet, coppers' instincts count for nothing. Nor, it seems, does the truth. As the cases keep intertwining, a trail of false confessions and shocking revelations keeps the answers just beyond reach.Never Proven sees DCI Anderson confronting the failings of a system he's put his faith in -- and his own limits as a detective.Guilt is everywhere.
