-- Half headc2009., Harper Voyager Call No: SC MYS Fic MacB Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Terrifying serial killer thriller set in the gritty Glasgow of the near future. A new punishment has been devised for the perpetrators of serious crimes -- one that not only reduces the prison population but also benefits society at large. The process is known as halfheading: the offender's lower jaw is removed and they are lobotomized. They are then put to work as cleaners in municipal areas like hospitals, where they serve as a warning to all that crime doesn't pay. But for one halfhead, it seems the lobotomy hasn't quite succeeded. Six years after her surgery, Dr Fiona Westfield 'wakes up' surrounded by the butchered remains of a man she has just brutally killed. As her mind slowly begins to return, she sets out on a quest for vengeance. William Hunter, Assistant Section Director of the 'Network' -- a military wing of the police -- attends the crime scene left behind by the newly awakened halfhead. Sherman House is a run-down concrete housing development full of undesirables and Hunter and his team quickly find themselves in a firefight with the locals. With the help of old comrades and a new friend in the form of prickly but attractive Detective Sergeant Josephine Cameron, Will gets on the trail of the killer. But before long the investigation leads back to a terrible tragedy in his own past, as well as to a terrifying conspiracy to sow violence and misery among Glasgow's most vulnerable citizens."--Publisher.

2018., Adult, Spiderline Call No: SC Fic McI Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: Duncan McCormack novel Volume: 1Summary Note: "Glasgow, 1969. Violence is a fact of everyday life in the city--the inevitable by-product of razor-gang warfare, organized crime, sectarian hatred, and an absence of hope. But a new sort of savagery has the city in thrall: three women have been found dead in the abandoned tenements and rubble-strewn courtyards of Glasgow's east end, killed on the streets by a monster they call The Quaker. He could be anyone--that man there in the pub, your children's teacher, that quiet workmate from the office or shop-floor. The newspapers are in a frenzy, the powers-that-be are helpless, the city is terrified. Weeks turn into months, and Glasgow's finest are no closer to identifying a suspect. The case needs to be closed--or just closed down--so that the city can begin to heal, move on, and forget. Enter Detective Inspector Duncan McCormack, an outsider from the Highlands, who's been sent in to review the investigation, point out any mistakes, and then quietly, firmly, shut it down. But just as McCormack is about to file his report, another body is found. The Quaker has struck again..."--From publisher.

2011., Simon & Schuster Call No: SC MYS Fic Rob Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: Narey & Winter Volume: 1Summary Note: 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.
