An Average Glasgow Hitman

Welcome to post-independence Scotland and the Glasgow shithole you'll never forget - Docksburn. Here the rain never stops, the whisky burns, and the line between politics and organised crime has long since bled out.

Greg McManus is forty, stuck on the rigs, trapped in a stale marriage, and sick to death of playing it safe. One pull of a trigger in the Highlands lights a fuse he didn't know he'd been carrying. The quiet man nobody noticed is gone - now he's hunting bigger game, and Glasgow is full of prey.

Junior MacNamara runs the city's underworld like a warlord in a blazer. Rivals want him gone. Cops want him caged. Family want him in the ground. None of them understand: Junior doesn't lose.

When their worlds collide, the streets boil over. Albanian trafficking rings tighten their grip. A megalomaniacal influencer turns crime into performance art. Monsters stir in MMA gyms, betrayals are brewed in care homes, and fortunes are settled in the lawless gut of The Docksburn Dens.

Beneath the blood and smoke, An Average Glasgow Hitman is about the role of a man - the weight of duty, the hunger for freedom, and the dangerous desires that claw at both. It's about the modern woman fighting to keep her ambitions alive in a world that still wants to write her ending.

A savage, violent, darkly funny debut set in a Scotland of expectations and hereditary shadows - perfect for fans of Irvine Welsh, David Peace, and TV's MobLand and Gangs of London.
