Description

Matt and Craig Pagen are making strides in life, not by leaving their Glasgow neighborhood, but by moving to a higher floor in a nearby tower block. This shift brings two major challenges: first, they need to break the news to their alcoholic father that they’re moving out; second, they need money to decorate and furnish their new place. Currently jobless, they turn to their friend Riley, a con man who involves them in his schemes including a fake car park operation and selling counterfeit goods. But things don't go as planned.

Matt and Craig work hard to keep their lives and relationships stable, balancing new romance and quick money making schemes to stay afloat. Will they be able to juggle all these challenges and find a way to thrive?

Advance Praise

NetGalley reviews for No Crime Committed (2023):

"Martyn Black writes with splendidly wrought realism, capturing a nasty criminal underworld in Glasgow and London, with a literary flourish. Most of the action takes place in the east end of Glasgow depicted with brutal authenticity.

There is an explicit evocation of violence as chilling as a Sam Peckinpah film. The style is vividly alive and constantly gripping." - Robin Price, reviewer

"Martyn Black has crafted a novel that is both a thrilling crime story and a thoughtful examination of human nature. It's a must-read for fans of the genre and a solid addition to the world of crime fiction." - J Kromie, reviewer
