Nominated for the 2010 Shamus Awards in the US, this taut, psychologically acute crime novel marks the arrival of an exciting new voice in Scottish crime fiction, and is the first in the J McNee series
When a Scottish farmer finds his estranged brother's corpse hanging from a tree, the police claim suicide. But Private Investigator J McNee is about to uncover the disturbing truth behind the death. With a pair of vicious London hard men loose in the Scottish city of Dundee, its only a matter of time before people start dying. McNee must confront his own demons and these brutal killers in a violence showdown that threatens to leave no one alive.
The Good Son evokes the dark streets of modern urban Scotland while paying homage the work of classic American authors such as Ross MacDonald and Dashiell Hammett. The result is "taught, tough and profoundly touching" (Sean Chercover, author of "Big City, Bad Blood" and "Trigger City")
"I love McNee" - Robert Olen Butler, author of the Christopher Marlowe Cobb mysteries
"A really authentic and remarkable read!" Martina Cole on Ed's Dead

About the author:
Russel D McLean is the author of several crime novels, including the J McNee series, and the dark comedy, Ed's Dead. Born in Fife, he studied philosophy at the University of Dundee before falling into the disreputable world of the book trade, spending over a decade as a bookseller before leaving to concentrate on his writing.

Russel's path to publication started at sixteen when he submitted his first full length novel to Virgin Publishing New Doctor Who Adventures. The novel was summarily rejected and he spent the next fourteen years perfecting his style before finally switching genres and writing dark crime fiction. His first paid credit was in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine in 2004 and his first novel, THE GOOD SON, was released in 2008.
He has since been published in the US, translated into Italian, French and German, and was nominated for best first PI novel by the Private Eye Writers of America.
He spent over a decade as a bookseller in Dundee and Glasgow, writing at night. Now he spends his days working as a development editor for various publishers, large and small, on a freelance basis, and his nights continuing to write fiction and screenplays.
In 2018, he was part of the Write4film initiative from the Scottish Film Talent Network, which helps writers from other forms to learn about screenwriting. He is currently working on various projects intended for the screen.
For two years (2014-16) he wrote a monthly crime fiction column for the Scottish Herald.
And yes, he really did once share a flat with a cursed mask.
