Calling Cards is a psychological thriller marking the arrival of a new addition, Gordon Johnston, to the ranks of Scottish crime writers. It is about stress, trauma, addiction, recovery and denial. It highlights the influence of the corrupting desires for success or revenge.
An anonymous email leads Glasgow West End Journalist Frank Gallen on a quest to unravel the links between a campaign against a housing development proposal in Kelvingrove Park; corruption in Glasgow City Council; and the increasingly frenzied activities of a Glasgow serial killer.
Gallen and DI Adam Ralston engage in a desperate chase to identify the serial killer from the clues he is sending them, in time to stop him from implementing the climax of his campaign of killing.

Calling Cards has a confidently drawn Glasgow setting which will enhance its local appeal, but its class and quality will ensure a wider national and international audience.
