May God Forgive

Alan Parks Press Reviews

'Harry McCoy is the brightest dark star on the tartan noir scene for some time and in future critics of Scottish crime fiction will surely be referring to the triumvirate of Laidlaw, Rebus and McCoy . . . May God Forgive is crime fiction which pulls no punches, powerfully told and, at times, heartbreakingly poignant. One of the crime novels of 2022' -- MIKE RIPLEY, author of GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER

'The Harry McCoy books by the bold Alan Parks just get better and better. May God Forgive starts like a runaway train and just keeps going. If you're not already reading these books, get onto them now' -- LIAM McILVANNEY

'Expertly handled and morally ambiguous . . . The skillfully written and complex plot builds to a thrilling and highly unconventional denouement -' Bloody Scotland, McIlvanney Prize Shortlist 

'Once again Alan Parks recreates a world of urban blight and spiritual decay . . . a grimly gripping plot . . . a remarkable series that began with Bloody January. The novels, as someone once said, can be read in any order; the important thing is to read them all' - The Times 

'Punchy, compulsive and, at times, as downright nasty as ever' -Herald
