Alan Parks joins us to launch Gunner , the start of a fantastic new wartime thriller series. Moving back in time from the 1970s of the Harry McCoy series to Glasgow in the midst of the Blitz, inspired by the real flight of Rudolf Hess to Scotland on a secret mission for Hitler, Gunner is the story of a former detective wounded in France investigating a strange body mutilated in the wreckage left by the Luftwaffe. Alan will be talking to Morgan Cry about the draws of historical crime, the evocation of Glasgow's past, and the use of real history as a stepping off point for fiction, before signing copies of his book. Gunner March, 1941. Joseph Gunner is back on the streets of Glasgow after being wounded on the front lines in France.Keeping the pain in his leg at bay with the help of morphine, Gunner, a former detective, is hoping to keep his head down as the Luftwaffe begin bombing Glasgow.But when he runs into his old boss Drummond, he is persuaded to help examine a body found in the wreckage. When the body turns out to be that of a German, mutilated to disguise his identity, Gunner reluctantly agrees to investigate.As Gunner begins to hunt for the truth he runs into old flames, bitter enemies, before finding himself embroiled in a high-level conspiracy that reaches far beyond his hometown of Glasgow.Partly inspired by the true story of Rudolph Hess's secret mission to broker appeasement with Britain during WWII, Gunner is an atmospheric and addictive new thriller from one of Britain's best-loved writers.
