Publisher Description
On April Fool’s Day 1983 a cruel prank goes horribly wrong and a dangerous seed is planted.
Ten years later, a more sinister joke is played and six people die. The Harlequin has announced his arrival to the people of Glasgow. As a young detective constable, Tom Russell becomes embroiled in a hunt that will dog his career.
2003, the Iraq war has just begun and The Harlequin returns with his own ‘Shock and Awe’ tactic by killing three people in the middle of a Glaswegian spring day. Russell’s previous experience means he is the perfect man to lead the investigation but he is still chasing a phantom.
Easter Monday, 2013 and The Harlequin’s end game becomes apparent. Russell is just one of his targets as he kidnaps three more victims and broadcasts to the world a horrifying game show where the only prize is to survive. Can Russell and Alex Menzies finally put an end to the Harlequin’s reign of terror?
Customer Reviews
The Harlequin
Very pacy. Easily read. A real page turner. I read it in one day so keen was I to read what was happening next. It is easy to imagine this story being developed into a TV drama or even a film.
There are a few twists and turns as the plot develops and an surprising development towards the end that is sure to surprise many. To those who like crime thrillers this is up there with the best of them. This is a good read and I have no hesitation in recommending it.
