In the Shadows of War: Alan Parks, Dominic Nolan, David F Ross
Friday 12th September 2025
Overview
The psychological scars of war are felt far from the frontline, and long after the final shot is fired, in three terrific and insightful novels
Gunner, the first in a gripping new series from Alan Parks, sees Joseph Gunner back from the front and fighting the war on the streets of 1941 Glasgow. Dominic Nolan’s highly-acclaimed White City is an extraordinary tale of gangsters and violence, poverty and dreams in the ruins of post-war London. David F. Ross’s The Weekenders is a fearless tale that rages from war-torn Italy to debauched 60s Glasgow in search of a dark truth.
