This is John McGroarty's first novel - and what a debut!
Set in the south side of Glasgow, THE TOWER is a crime novel, for sure. It's a tale of murder, for sure; there are plenty of them! And it's a detective story, for sure. But it would be crass and misleading to categorise it under those labels alone – or even under the vogue umbrella label of Tartan Noir. It transcends Tartan Noir. The murders, the murderers and those who pursue the murderers are but props in a finely drawn portrait of a community that has lost its way. Its inhabitants are also lost; lost, restless souls forever seeking to find a way out of the bleakness of poverty and drugs and violence. And within the bleakness a war rages, the eternal struggle between good and evil.
THE TOWER encapsulates that struggle for the soul of the community. It is honest, brutal and unflinching, but it also offers redemption.
