Publisher Description
'Robertson is doing for Glasgow what Rankin did for Edinburgh' Mirror
Glasgow is being terrorised by a serial killer the media have nicknamed The Cutter. The murders have left the police baffled. There seems to be neither rhyme nor reason behind the killings; no kind of pattern or motive; an entirely different method of murder each time, and nothing that connects the victims except for the fact that the little fingers of their right hands have been severed.
If DS Rachel Narey could only work out the key to the seemingly random murders, how and why the killer selects his victims, she would be well on her way to catching him. But as the police, the press and a threatening figure from Glasgow's underworld begin to close in on The Cutter, his carefully-laid plans threaten to unravel - with horrifying consequences.
Brilliant crime fiction for fans of Stuart MacBride and Ian Rankin, Random is Craig Robertson's debut thriller and was shortlisted for the CWA New Blood Dagger. Look out for the new novel In Place of Death.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Scottish journalist–turned–crime writer Craig Robertson has produced a thriller with an intriguing twist. Using the first-person narrative to bring us into his serial killer’s inner world, Robertson made us feel an unsettling, eerie sense of empathy. Meanwhile, the murderer’s gruesome clues baffle Detective Sergeant Rachel Narey and terrify all of Glasgow. Expect the powerfully unexpected right through to the fast-paced finale.

Well constructed novel. Didn't know where it was leading to until well into the story. The end was probably fitting, although some readers would think disappointing!

An outstanding book by a very talented author. I just hope he takes off- this is as good as any crime fiction novel I have read - ever!
To long winded
It drags on to slow.
