Black mail
Murder and drug-dealing are all in a day's work for DCI Charlie Anderson, but everything's on a different scale now that psychopath Billy McAteer is back on the streets of Glasgow. Simon Ramsay, a successful and seemingly respectable businessman, receives an email with a photograph attached. If he doesn't come up with £50k, the sender will release it to the press, and Ramsay's career will be over. In a state of panic he contacts his mistress, Laura. He tells her a blackmailer has managed to get his hands on a compromising photo of them in bed together. Terrified of what her violent husband will do if he finds out about her affair, Laura enlists the services of McAteer to deal with the blackmailer. It is a moment of madness, with disastrous consequences. And it falls to DCI Anderson and his sidekick to unravel the trail of death and destruction.

- "Murder and drug-dealing are all in the day's work for DCI Charlie Anderson, but everything's on a different scale now that psychopath Billy McAteer is back on the streets of Glasgow. Simon Ramsay, a seemingly respectable businessman, receives a photograph attached to an e-mail threatening to expose embarrassing aspects of his private life if he doesn't come up with fifty thousand pounds. In a state of panic he contacts his mistress, Laura Harrison, telling her a blackmailer has managed to get his hands on a compromising photo of them in bed together. Terrified of the consequences if her fiercely jealous husband finds out about her affair - and in a moment of madness that turns her world upside down - Laura enlists the services of Billy McAteer to deal with the blackmailer. Black Mail is a complex intrigue of drugs, blackmail and murder - and, this being Glasgow, the undercurrent of religious intolerance is forever bubbling just beneath the surface."@en
