Magic is afoot…
When the country’s most wanted man inexplicably hands
himself into the police, decades after absconding from the state mental
institute, a young, but damaged lawyer is called back from his
recuperation to interview him. As Thomas Leven is drawn into the
complex, preternatural mind of Westerwick born serial killer Angus John
MacMillan, what appeared a perfunctory task quickly proves to be
anything but.
Delving deeper into the malign elements of MacMillan’s
story, Thomas Leven starts to unravel, not only questioning his own
faith but his sanity as he comes to the chilling realisation that true
evil is all around. Set in Glasgow’s West End, and on the fictitious
island of the title, Westerwick is a claustrophobic tale of the macabre,
the mischievous and the malevolent, serving as both an urban gothic
satire and a record of modern devilry.
