Classic crime
Description
The Shift is an exceptionally gritty thriller and one that will transport the reader back to the summer of 1989 and is based on the author’s experiences after he joined Strathclyde Police on July 31, 1989. It is interwoven with a fictionalised account of the Ice Cream War and the Northern Ireland troubles spilling over into Glasgow. Drawing heavily from his experiences as a Glasgow cop Mitchell has created the award-nominated DS Thoroughgood detective series.
