Summary Justice

by Robert Durrant Author

Overview

Gangster Crime in Edinburgh, Scotland

Within days of being released from prison, an Edinburgh gangleader brutally murders a defenceless grandmother in a drunken rage. For years he had harboured a grudge against her son. For the murderer, justice had been done.

For those who enforce justice, relationships that develop between criminals, police officers of all ranks, and lawyers who play for both sides as though it were a game, often a well paid one, are complex and, in this case, extremely dangerous.

As retaliations abound, with deaths aplenty, few realise that more summary justice is being meted out, short circuiting the normal process of the law.

As the perpetrator of this most efficient form of removing unpleasant people from society begins to appreciate things are ‘getting out of hand’, so to speak, the pressures of possible exposure and arrest dawn.

A thought-provoking novel that views the depths to which an otherwise upright citizen can so rapidly sink.

About the Author

Robert Durrant is a native Scot living in Edinburgh the capital of Scotland.

His interests are broad and includes his time spent writing fiction novels. A process that, by his own admission, can be quite challenging but also, thankfully, hugely rewarding.

This is why he wrote his first novel ‘The Wake Crasher’, a humorous look at the darker side of life through the eyes of young adults struggling to make ends meet in a world where austerity is the catchphrase of the decade.

Robert has a stressful job managing a large turnover and operating to tight schedules, meaning he understands the need for working to fixed dates. This has helped him to ensure he not only completed his first novel, but now has a second novel ready for publication. No doubt he has drawn on his current and previous experience to fuel the material for his fiction novels, perhaps witnessing, as a police officer, a few events the public would not be privy to.

So if you enjoy 'The Wake Crasher' then be sure to look out for his second novel, a thriller called “The Reluctant Killer”, the first in a planned series.
