The Riverman could hear voices from the top of the embankment, but his eyes never left the half-submerged body as it came nearer and nearer to the boat ...'

The riverman's job is to navigate the swirling currents of the Clyde, pulling detritus from Glasgow's great river. But occasionally he is required to do something altogether more unpleasant - such as lifting dead bodies from the water.

The day he pulls the lifeless body of a middle-aged man from the river, it looks like a case of accidental death. But when the case gets assigned to DCI William Lorimer of the Glasgow Police, he digs deeper and begins to suspect that the death is part of a sinister chain of events.

With big businesses, tortured love affairs and deadly rivalries all colliding, it's clear that this case is as explosive as they come. And beneath the excitement of a revitalised, modern city, Lorimer discovers that there are still dark undercurrents flowing fast....

Featuring the most dynamic new Scottish detective since Rebus, The Riverman is a page-turning thriller steeped in the history and atmosphere of Glasgow.
