Butcher

Lou Perlman, officially on sick leave from Strathclyde Police, has hit the lowest point in his life. Barred from the investigation into the recent gangland slayings, and seemingly abandoned by Miriam, the nomadic object of his affection, he's a lost man. Then, cleaning out of his long-neglected house he discovers a decaying human hand in a Ziploc bag... Whose hand is it? Who cut it off? And who put it in Perlman's bedroom? These are questions he alone must answer. They take him on a baffling quest through the strata of Glasgow society, from slum tenements to casinos to New Age Temples, encountering high-flying criminals and freaks...
