Westerwick

Magic is afoot…

When the country’s most wanted man inexplicably hands himself into the police, decades after absconding from the state mental institute, a young, but damaged lawyer is called back from his recuperation to interview him. As Thomas Leven is drawn into the complex, preternatural mind of Westerwick born serial killer Angus John MacMillan, what appeared a perfunctory task quickly proves to be anything but.

Delving deeper into the malign elements of MacMillan’s story, Thomas Leven starts to unravel, not only questioning his own faith but his sanity as he comes to the chilling realisation that true evil is all around. Set in Glasgow’s West End, and on the fictitious island of the title, Westerwick is a claustrophobic tale of the macabre, the mischievous and the malevolent, serving as both an urban gothic satire and a record of modern devilry.
