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.

We came here on a spontaneous visit one Sunday afternoon in January and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our wee boy loved seeing the &ldquo;old fashioned house&rdquo; and was so well looked after by all the staff, from the cash register to the flat and back out again.We went round twice (with a shift change between visits!) and the insight into one story of no doubt thousands like it in Glasgow was fantastic. Plus our boy thoroughly enjoyed colouring in his wallie dug. A hidden gem that is well worth the wander through Garnethill.

This is simply a dream castle. When I arrived, it was the April holiday, and there were almost no people on the road. Only the ancient buildings stood in the cold air, solemn and heavy, which made people feel awe.
