Raised by the Clyde

THE QUIET ONES LAST.

That was the lesson. That was the life.

Frank Ferro grew up in the closes of Glasgow, raised by a family whose real business was never spoken of at the table. From running messages at thirteen to the name over a pub door, he learned the trade the old way, watching, keeping, never writing anything down, until the night his own bar filled with gunfire and three innocent men paid for another man's ambition.

So Frank went north, and disappeared, and built something in the Highland quiet that the city never knew existed.

Thirty years on, the man who designed everything is dead. The succession is loud, and a war is burning its way through Frank's own family name. The only man who can stop it is the one nobody remembers.

They think he retired.

But in the same Glasgow underworld where Davie Mason paid twenty years in silence and John Hunter saw the shape in everything, one man has spent three decades keeping the machine running exactly as it was built.

A standalone novel set in the same world as the Blood on the Clyde trilogy.
