TRUTH LIES WAITING (book 1)

Introducing Scottish anti-hero Davy Johnson as he takes on the Edinburgh establishment to clear his name.

Davy Johnson is a young man from an Edinburgh estate with a target on his back.  After a spell in prison, he is trying to make a life for himself, but one cop won’t leave him alone, following him around and carting him off the station just for the fun of it.

The harassment turns sinister when Davy witnesses his nemesis overstep the mark with a local junkie – and makes the mistake of telling him he’s been seen. What happens next sees Davy framed for a string of murders with no one to help him but the cronies he promised he’d turn his back on when he got out of jail – but what will they want in return?

With the help of an ex con and a local cabbie Davy goes on the run to prove his innocence but as the body count rises he discovers a connection between what’s happening now and an incident involving his father many years before.

Will Davy be able to work out the truth from the lie in time to save the killer’s next victim?
