Crime writer Liam McIlvanney returns to his roots in his new thriller, The Good Father, set on the Ayrshire coast.

“Gordon and Sarah Rutherford are normal, happy people with rich, fulfilling lives. They have a son they adore, a house on the beach and a safe, friendly community in a picture-postcard town. Until one day, Bonnie the lab comes in from the beach alone. Their son, Rory, has gone – the only trace left behind is a single black Adidas slider. Their lives don’t fall apart immediately. While there’s still hope (and no body) they dig deep and try to carry on. But when the truth begins to emerge, they find themselves in a world they could barely have imagined” …

‘A haunting, harrowing study of how far a father will go’ Neil Broadfoot

‘Beautifully written, this is easily one of the finest crime novels I’ve read in a very long time’ C.M. Ewan
