To Understand Why (set in Glasgow) is about a serial killer and a forensic profiler. Not another serial killer, not another forensic profiler! Indeed, but these ones are different, one kills by proxy and the other is an old, burned-out, failure, who gets one more chance. Conflict drives both the novel and the main characters, where each has double bind circumstances which underpin the plot and defines them. Like duelling banjos, each influencing and challenging the other, and morphing them and the direction of the novel as a result. Add a corrupt Lord Provost, a Detective Inspector with an unhealthy ambition, and interracial crime factions, and you have a novel set in local crime politics in the gritty backdrop of Glasgow. To Understand Why is a 'why dunnit', where, our man seeks to find out not only who is behind a series of murderous incidents, but why the killer is really doing this. Can he still cut the mustard; can he come back in this his greatest challenge, not only in his career, but his life?
