In Focus
The town of Govan stands
on the south bank of the River Clyde some 2.5 miles west of the centre
of Glasgow. It looks across the Clyde to the mouth of the River Kelvin
and to Partick. Access to the town is usually
from the M8 motorway to the south, or by means of the Glasgow Subway.
There is also a passenger ferry, that operates intermittently, crossing
the River Clyde to link Govan with Glasgow Harbour and
the Riverside Museum. ( More

The High Road by Ken Lussey (15 September 2023).
A fast-paced thriller set mainly in central Scotland and the far north-west. Callum Anderson is in Scotland to scatter
his father’s ashes when he’s asked by a cousin to look for her missing sister, Alexandra. With his life in London in tatters
and suspended from duty by the Metropolitan Police, why not? It soon becomes clear that Alex is on the run from someone who sees
Callum as a means of finding her and adding to a trail of bodies across two countries. Can Callum find Alex before his
own hunter finds him?
