Advokaten Bobby Carter, hvis klienter ikke var Guds bedste børn, er død, og årsagen var ikke en ulykke. I mellemtiden er Laidlaws rygte løbet ham i forkøbet. Han er ikke ligefrem en holdspiller, og situationen er sprængfarlig. Der er krig mellem to af Glasgows værste bander, men er advokatens mord et resultat af den konflikt? Der er ikke mangel på mistænkte i noget samfundslag, og spørgsmålet er, om Laidlaws sans for, hvad der rører sig på gaden, kan være nøglen til at opklare mordet i tide. Det er to mesterforfattere, der i fællesskab puster liv i Glasgows underverden og Laidlaws kompromisløse jagt på sandheden. Det ufærdige, håndskrevne manuskript til denne bog har samlet støv siden McIlvanneys død i 1995, men heldigvis blev det taget op, af Skotlands måske største nulevende krimiforfatter og McIlvanney-fan Ian Rankin. I 1977 påbegyndte det skotske forfatterfænomen William McIlvanney sin serie om politimanden Jack Laidlaw, og grundlagde således den genre, der i dag kendes som ‘tartan noire’. En rå og hårdkogt type af kriminalromaner, som trækker på verdenslitteraturen – bare for sjov – med det resultat, at det litterære niveau er særdeles højt, selvom det stadig er et letlæst krimiplot, som er det bærende element.
The Dark Remains: A Laidlaw Investigation (Jack Laidlaw Novels Prequel)
WINNER of the 2022 British Book Award for Crime & Thriller Book of the Year In this scorching prequel, New York Times best-selling author Ian Rankin and Scottish crime-writing legend William McIlvanney join forces for the first ever case of DC Jack Laidlaw, Glasgow's original gritty detective. Lawyer Bobby Carter did a lot of work for the wrong kind of people. When his body is found in an alley behind a pub that is known to be under the protective wing of a local crime boss, the fragile equilibrium that has been keeping Glasgow relatively safe for months is shattered. Besides a distraught family and any number of powerful friends, Carter has left behind his fair share of enemies. So who is responsible for his death? DC Jack Laidlaw's reputation precedes him. He's not a team player, but he's got a sixth sense for what's happening on the streets. His boss chalks Carter's death up to the usual rivalries, but Laidlaw knows it can't be that simple. As two Glasgow gangs go to war, he needs to find Carter's killer before the whole city explodes. William McIlvanney's Laidlaw books changed the face of crime fiction. When he died in 2015, he left half a handwritten manuscript of Laidlaw's first case. Ian Rankin has finished what McIlvanney started. Here, in The Dark Remains, these two iconic authors bring to life the criminal world of 1970s Glasgow, and Laidlaw's relentless quest for truth." Fantastic--like witnessing Scottish noir's Big Bang creation in the company of its greatest living exponent... Like Maradona and Messi playing in the same team."--Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Reacher thrillers

Jack Laidlaw returns in the groundbreaking series. "The Laidlaw books are like fine malt whiskey--the pure distilled essence of Scottish crime writing" (Peter May, international bestselling author). In this second book in his monumental Laidlaw series, McIlvanney tells the tale of Eck Adamson, an alcoholic vagrant who summons Jack Laidlaw to his deathbed.

Laidlaw: A Laidlaw Investigation (Jack Laidlaw Novels Book 1)
"So searing it will burn forever into your memory. McIlvanney is the original Scottish criminal mastermind."--Christopher Brookmyre, international bestselling author The Laidlaw novels, a groundbreaking series that changed the face of Scottish fiction, are credited with being the founding books of the Tartan Noir movement that includes authors like Val McDermid, Denise Mina, and Ian Rankin. Says McDermid of William McIlvanney: "Patricia Highsmith had taken us inside the head of killers; Ruth Rendell tentatively explored sexuality; with No Mean City, Alexander McArthur had exposed Glasgow to the world; Raymond Chandler had dressed the darkness in clever words. But nobody had ever smashed those elements together into so accomplished a synthesis." In Laidlaw, the series' progatonist Jack Laidlaw--a hard-drinking philosopher-detective whose tough exterior cloaks a rich humanity and keen intelligence--investigates the murder of a young woman, coming into conflict with Glasgow's hard men, its gangland villains, and the moneyed thugs who control the city. As the gangsters running Glasgow race Laidlaw for the discovery of the young woman's killer, a sense of dangerous betrayal infests the city that only Laidlaw can erase.
