Scotland’s second most prolific crime writer, launches another weighty tome with an infuriatingly clever, wordy title: this time around it‘s Attack of the Unsinkab/e Rubber Ducks. Good news: he’s finally killed off his seemingly indestructible serial protagonist, smart alec journalist Jack Parlabane. Hurrah! Bad news: Parlabane is narrating the latest novel from beyond the grave, with the help of a charismatic psychic. How very Ghost of him.
