About the Book

Winner of the prestigious Black Claw Award for mystery. The Devil Lives in Glasgow is equal to Caleb Carr's best. Bornais takes his reader back to a time in Victorian England when the Scottish highlands were terrorized by a series of gruesome murders. His unlikely hero is Joe Hackney, a disabled, small-time crook with talents that land him a job with Scotland Yard. To both Hackney's surprise and dismay, the Yard sends him to Glasgow to wrap up the case of a businessman whose murder looks like a simple burglary gone bad. To make matters worse for Hackney, his assignment proves to be anything but simple. The reluctant investigator turns into a first-class detective as he slowly exposes a string of similar crimes. These killings are clearly linked by a single thread--a man named Hogg. But the mystery for Hackney, and for the reader, is how this same Hogg could commit crimes that occurred nearly 60 years apart! Bornais' book rivals The Alienist for a stroy rich with intrigue and suspense as well as with the details of its period. The Devils Lives in Glasgow does not evoke the porcelain of an afternoon tea but the gutters and misery of the working masses of Victorian Scotland. At the same time, it is a classic example of the black novel whose hero tells a story that is as chilling as it is enthralling. The plot moves from a story that is graphically real to a tale that is eerily surreal when Hackney realizes that the villain he seeks carries the curse of the Devil himself. This understanding allows the young detective to solve the crime but forces him to make a life-altering personal choice.
