Synopsis

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Glasgow is being terrorised by a serial killer the media have nicknamed The Cutter. The murders have left the police baffled. There seems to be neither rhyme nor reason behind the killings; no kind of pattern or motive; an entirely different method of murder each time, and nothing that connects the victims except for the fact that the little fingers of their right hands have been severed.

If DS Rachel Narey could only work out the key to the seemingly random murders, how and why the killer selects his victims, she would be well on her way to catching him. But as the police, the press and a threatening figure from Glasgow's underworld begin to close in on The Cutter, his carefully-laid plans threaten to unravel - with horrifying consequences.

Brilliant crime fiction for fans of Stuart MacBride and Ian Rankin, Random is Craig Robertson's debut thriller and was shortlisted for the CWA New Blood Dagger.

This sounds like a great crime thriller - a serial killer who is seemingly picking his victims entirely at random. But half the enjoyment of a book of this... READ MORE

Very Different!
Unexpected ending, not sure I agree with the ending. Good book but very different as written from the point of view of the murderer.

The first Craig Robertson book I had ever read and what a great idea writing through the eyes of the protagonist, so clever
