Book description
After witnessing the mysterious Brond push a child off Kelvingrove
Bridge, student Robert is drawn into Brond's plan to trap a dangerous
IRA killer. "Brond" is a high-octane page-turner, full of
political intrigue, a tale of evil and exploitation in the nightmarish
landscape of a Glasgow where nothing is as it seems. Lindsay's writing
is formidable and at its most thrilling and most unpredictable here.
"Brond" was adapted into a memorable three-part series for
Channel 4, directed by Michael Caton-Jones, and starring John Hannah
and Stratford Johns.
