About this ebook
Winner of the Deanston Scottish Crime Book of the Year Award
How does a gunman retire? Frank MacLeod was the best at what he does. Thoughtful. Efficient. Ruthless. But is he still the best?
A new job. A target. But something is about to go horribly wrong. Someone is going to end up dead.
Most gunmen say goodbye to the world with a bang. Frank’s still here. He’s lasted longer than he should have . . .
The breathtaking, devastating sequel to lauded debut The Necessary Death of Lewis Winter, How a Gunman Says Goodbye will plunge you back into the Glasgow underworld, where criminal organizations war for prominence and those caught up in events are tested at every turn.
Malcolm Mackay's award-winning The Glasgow Trilogy concludes in The Sudden Arrival of Violence.

Very enjoyable read, a handful of characters playing out a Shakespearean plot in the monochrome shades of the Glaswegian underworld. The plot continues from the first of the trilogy seamlessly and is carried along by the narrative to it's natural, dark conclusion. Mackay treads a line with the story and characters, these are not likeable people who are morally corrupt. However, you do care, if not about them, but about what happens to them. I'm off to read part three!

Truly unique writing style. Waiting eagerly for the next one. Writer manages to make reader love thoroughly unlovable people.
