About the Ebook

Open Wounds brings the Davie McCall Quartet to a powerful close. Davie is exhausted — tired of violence, tired of the Life, tired of the darkness that has followed him since childhood. He has always managed to stay detached from the brutality of his work… until now. Recently, he’s caught himself enjoying it.

When Davie begins investigating a brutal five‑year‑old crime, old friends collide, long‑buried secrets rise to the surface, and the fragile world he has built starts to crack. He wants out — but the underbelly of Glasgow is all he has ever known.

What he uncovers about his old ally Big Rab McClymont may finally give him a way out. And the mysterious woman who has just moved in upstairs might be the first glimmer of something better.

But in Davie’s world, nothing comes without a price.

"Dark and satisfying… great dialogue and humour… a page‑turner… highly recommended!"
