The Hanging Shed by Gordon Ferris
The No. 1 e-book hit: a fast-paced, gritty and atmospheric crime novel set on the tough streets of Glasgow, 1946. 'The new Ian Rankin.' - Daily Mail
An impressive example of what's now called 'Scottish noir'.. a hit on the Kindle charts before its release in hard cover, it's the start of a Brodie series, and if its successors are as good we might just have found a new Ian Rankin. * Daily Mail *
The rising star of Scottish literature. * Scotsman *
THE HANGING SHED is in the great Scottish tradition of mystery and adventure. His writing has a great feel for authenticity and a terrific narrative drive. -- Val McDermid
As a thriller it is unsurpassed... potent... atmospheric... An exceptional piece of writing. Highly recommended. -- Lizzie Hayes * Mystery Women website for crime *
The Hanging Shed is the word-of-mouth hit that is leaving its fellow thrillers in its wake. * Guardian *
Ferris scores with some unexpected twists, a convincing portrayal of sad, edgy post-war Glasgow and a background of lost love. * The Times *
Deft, disturbing... wonderfully evocative... if the strength of this debut is anything to go by, we'll be seeing a lot more of Douglas Brodie. * Observer *
A must-read. Riveting and arrestingly violent, it's an on-the-edge-of-your-seat thriller, and Ferris has confirmed himself as an exciting and original voice in the crime noir genre. -- Sam Millar * New York Journal of Books *
A writer of real authority... an original voice... The book deserves quite as many readers in its hard-copy form as it has already gleaned in its electronic version. * Independent *
