Book excerpt: Two Scotsmen with the same name walk into a bar..."Please tell me urnae hustlin." Nick gave his pal a dirty look over his shoulder. "Ah ken whit Ah'm daein.""Dain't get onieyin malkied, mind," groused Nick Two. "Shut it, ya muppet. This isnae Glesga. It's the States," he growled back. "An' a pathetic wee toon at tha'.""Oh aye. The States. So ye'll get someyin shot, then. Fantastic."Born and bred in the tenements of Maryhill, Glasgow, Dr. Nick Kerr unwittingly sets in motion a deadly chain of events that convinces him it's high time to stop watching everyone leave him behind and be the one who's moving on. When opportunity knocks, he snatches a fresh start in small college-town America. Just before boredom threatens to finish him off, his past begins to unravel the present. Add a persistent childhood friend the same name, a sexy femme fatale obsessed with Alice in Wonderland, a jealous blonde, and long-lost relatives, and Nick discovers that stealing the perfect life may not have been a brilliant move after all. Secrets and lies threaten to make his sanity, future, and everything he cares about not just long gone--Glasgone.A valentine to Glasgow and all things Scottish, Glasgone explores how the secrets that define us will either destroy us or set us free.
