A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'RANDOM is published in April 2010 and should be a debut best seller for its author. Craig Robertson is another gifted, Scottish, crime fiction writer. I am eagerly awaiting his next offering' – Eurocrime.co.uk
'The pace picks up with a thrilling ride to the end' – vvb32 reads
'An explosive debut from an author who is bound for greatness . . . This book is deliciously disturbing with an ending that is beyond perfection. *****' WebbWeaver
'Random grabs you by the throat right on the very first page and holds you firmly in its teeth until spitting you out, exhausted, at the end. Absolutely awesome. And with enough twists and turns to keep even the most hardened crime fiction fan satisfied' Eurocrime
'Random was a real reading revelation for me. Flagged as a thriller it is a pacy, tense and disturbing book. It's also a reflective, moving and emotional book. It was one of those books that took all my reading assumptions, pitched them out a window and ran over them with a bus just to make sure they were well dead and buried' Crimespace
'If you like to read thrillers that aren't a dime a dozen and don't fit the picture you have of thrillers Random is a perfect pick!' Pearl's World of Romance
'If you like Tarantino-esque tales of gangland killings, violent hardnuts and people's lives spiralling out of control, you'll enjoy reading this. It's dark and depressing, violent and disturbing and has some nice little unexpected twists tucked away to keep us reading to the end' Madhouse Family Reviews
'This is a novel that really gets under your skin. Not only is the complex plot expertly managed (I was sure I knew who the murderer was at least twice before being prove comprehensively wrong) and the Glasgow setting brilliantly utilised, but the actions of the sniper himself mean this, for many, will be anything but a simple case of goodies versus baddies/.../The world Robertson creates in Snapshot is dark and often depressingly grubby. But it's also fascinating, challenging and, dare I say it, edge-of-the-seat and heart-in-the-mouth entertaining.' Gregor White, Stirling Observer

Quatrième de couverture

Eeeny, meeny, miny, mo ...
Who will be the next to go?
Glasgow is being terrorised by a serial killer the media have nicknamed The Cutter. The murders have left the police baffled. There seems to be neither rhyme nor reason behind the killings; no kind of pattern or motive; an entirely different method of murder each time, and nothing that connects the victims except for the fact that the little fingers of their right hands have been severed.
If DS Rachel Narey could only work out the key to the seemingly random murders, how and why the killer selects his victims, she would be well on her way to catching him. But as the police, the press and a threatening figure from Glasgow's underworld finally begin to close in on The Cutter, his carefully-laid plans threaten to unravel - with horrifying consequences . . .
