About this listen
Every family has its secrets. Some more than others.
Venture back into the shadowy heart of 1960s Scotland with this third electrifying installment of Bill Knox's acclaimed Thane & Moss series.
Leave it to the Hangman introduces Glasgow's most notorious criminal dynasty–the Kilburns. From the murky depths of smuggling to the explosive dangers of stolen dynamite, no deed is too daring for this clan.
Yet, even in a world where lawlessness reigns, there are lines that are not meant to be crossed.
The cold-blooded murder of a policeman shocks the city. Both the police and the Kilburns themselves know that one of the family was responsible. But which one?
From the grimy streets of 1960s Glasgow to a desolate lochside, the chase leads Detectives Thane and Moss through a maze of deceit and danger. As they draw closer to the truth, they find themselves up against not just the cunning of a criminal family, but the very code that binds them.
In this gripping tale of loyalty, betrayal, and justice, Knox masterfully navigates the thin line between right and wrong. "Leave it to the Hangman" is a testament to the enduring legacy of Tartan Noir, showcasing Knox's unparalleled ability to weave authentic police work with the rich, atmospheric setting of Scotland's dark side.
Rediscover the thrill of the chase and the depth of Glasgow's criminal world in this gripping tale of loyalty, betrayal, and justice.
Leave it to the Hangman is not just a story of crime and punishment, but a vivid portrait of a city and era defined by its shadows, from one of the true godfathers of Tartan Noir.
