Never Somewhere Else is a highly visual and powerfully written tale of contemporary crime and retribution. Alex Gray's rich and stylish debut leads the reader through the streets, parks and art galleries of Glasgow on a compelling journey of discovery that never fails to keep the pages turning.

When a series of young women are discovered strangled and mutilated in a Glasgow park, it is up to DCI Lorimer to find their killer. Frustrated by a lack of progress in the investigation, Lorimer is forced to enlist the services of Dr Solomon Brightman, a young psychologist and criminal profiler. Together they form an uneasy alliance. But when a homeless man is brought in for questioning the investigation takes a bizarre turn.
