"Parks’ debut is filled with the sights and sounds of Edinburgh in the 70s. Bloody January begins with a cheerfully dissolute policeman half-heartedly attempting to prevent the murder of a waitress, and is filled with all the fascinating details of changing Scottish life you could hope to read about, from paisley to prison reform.This book would make an excellent companion to The French Connection, mainly because while reading it, I had an image of a Scottish Gene Hackman in my head the whole time."
