Winner of last year’s Deanston Scottish Crime Book of the Year award Peter May, returns with his new book ‘Runaway‘.
Inspired by Peter’s own experience, Runway tells the story of five teenage friends who fled Glasgow for London to pursue their dream of musical stardom. Yet before year’s end three returned, and returned damaged. In 2015, a brutal murder forces those three men, now in their sixties, to journey back to London and finally confront the dark truth they have run from for five decades.
Runaway is a crime novel covering fifty years of friendships solidified and severed, dreams shared and shattered and passions lit and extinguished; set against the backdrop of two unique and contrasting cities at two unique and contrasting periods of recent history. Runaway is published on Thursday 15th January.
