Join bestselling Scottish crime
fiction author Lin Anderson at Elder Park Library for the launch of her new
novel Whispers of the Dead, the 18th book in her
bestselling crime series featuring forensic scientist Dr Rhona MacLeod.
Glasgow Libraries are delighted
to host this event at the newly renovated Elder Park Library, with Elder
Park providing a setting within Lin's gripping new thriller...
In the dead of night, a man’s
body is found strapped to a chair in Glasgow’s Elder Park, his identity
unknown. As forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod examines the scene, the violence
on display suggests a gangland feud could be the cause. At the post-mortem, a
bullet engraved with a snake’s head is found in the man’s stomach, lending
weight to the theory.
Elsewhere in the city, a major
Hollywood movie is being filmed. But shooting comes to a standstill when its
lead actor is reported missing. As the news spreads, Police Scotland believe
the two cases may be connected.
DS Michael McNab thinks the key to finding those responsible could be the film itself. A storyline playing out in real-life on the streets of Glasgow with a killer intent on revenge at any cost. A vendetta which must be paid in blood . . .

This is a hugely enjoyable ghost story, atmospheric and chilling. It is a story about an attempt in 1935 by five Englishmen to climb Kangchenjunga, a Himalyan mountain more deadly than Everest. A rucksack belonging to a dead mountaineer appears to follow them. Is it an optical illusion? Is someone menacing the group? The ice ‘creaking and groaning’ are vividly described. This is a ghost story to chill and thrill, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Dark Matter by the same author is also excellent.

The library was gifted to Govan by Mrs Isabella Elder and opened by Andrew Carnegie in 1903.
Mrs Elder donated £10,000 to meet the cost of building.
