Lead Review

• Book: The Necessary Death of Lewis Winter
• Location: Glasgow
• Author: Malcolm Mackay

What emerges is a bleak, depressing, frighteningly plausible picture of Glasgow’s criminal underworld. The tension – and there’s a lot of it; this is a book that it would be hard not to finish in one sitting – builds as Calum’s plans near fruition, as Lewis goes about his life unaware, and as the realities of this dreary, dangerous world become clear. – Alison Flood –
