Né à Fife en Écosse, Russel D. McLean a publié son premier roman, The Good Son, en 2008. Il est aujourd’hui traduit en italien, en français et en allemand.
Nominated for the 2010 Shamus Awards in the US, this taut, psychologically acute crime novel marks the arrival of an exciting new voice in Scottish crime fiction, and is the first in the J McNee series
When a Scottish farmer finds his estranged brother's corpse hanging from a tree, the police claim suicide. But Private Investigator J McNee is about to uncover the disturbing truth behind the death. With a pair of vicious London hard men loose in the Scottish city of Dundee, its only a matter of time before people start dying. McNee must confront his own demons and these brutal killers in a violence showdown that threatens to leave no one alive.
The Good Son evokes the dark streets of modern urban Scotland while paying homage the work of classic American authors such as Ross MacDonald and Dashiell Hammett. The result is "taught, tough and profoundly touching" (Sean Chercover, author of "Big City, Bad Blood" and "Trigger City")
"I love McNee" - Robert Olen Butler, author of the Christopher Marlowe Cobb mysteries
"A really authentic and remarkable read!" Martina Cole on Ed's Dead
