Summary
«Con esta tercera entrega， Parks está construyendo una serie que ningún amante de la novela policiaca debería perderse。» Scotsman «Incluso mejor que las novelas predecesoras。» The Times （Libro del Mes） Glasgow， julio de 1973。 Se llama Alice Kelly， tiene trece años， y ha desaparecido。 Han pasado ya quince horas desde que alguien la vio por última vez。 El agente Harry McCoy sabe que las probabilidades de un desenlace fatal son muy altas。 Apenas se ha desplegado el dispositivo policial de búsqueda cuando el guitarrista Bobby March， la estrella de rock local， sufre una sobredosis en un hotel; la víspera había actuado en un concierto en el que， a juicio de McCoy， no estuvo muy brillante。 Sea como sea， los periódicos necesitan noticias sangrientas; los mandos de la policía， resultados; y la ley， respeto， cueste lo que cueste。 Para colmo， la sobrina del jefe de McCoy se ha eclipsado; McCoy， discretamente， tendrá que localizarla。 Pero ¿podrá Harry McCoy con todo？

Another great book from Alan Parks with Detective Harry McCoy。 I have read each in the series so far and although other dysfunctional， grumpy Scottish detective series are available I enjoy that these are set in the 70's which brings an interesting perspective。 This one felt stronger than the last and this is a series I will continue to look forward to。 Another great book from Alan Parks with Detective Harry McCoy。 I have read each in the series so far and although other dysfunctional， grumpy Scottish detective series are available I enjoy that these are set in the 70's which brings an interesting perspective。 This one felt stronger than the last and this is a series I will continue to look forward to。 。。。more

Difficult to follow the story at times - probably because this is the third book of a series。 The interaction of various characters was somewhat confusing。 I intend to read the first in the series soon。

“Bobby March Will Live Forever” is set in 1973’s Glasgow， Scotland， and offers up a superb taste of Scottish noir。 The third in the Harry McCoy series has McCoy facing off against his nemesis， Raeburn， a corrupt incompetent boob who takes over the investigation of the crime of the century， the disappearance of little Alice。Meanwhile， for spite， McCoy is frozen out of the investigation， leaving him available to find a dead rockstar and a needle。 Meanwhile， the niece of the commissioner above McCo “Bobby March Will Live Forever” is set in 1973’s Glasgow， Scotland， and offers up a superb taste of Scottish noir。 The third in the Harry McCoy series has McCoy facing off against his nemesis， Raeburn， a corrupt incompetent boob who takes over the investigation of the crime of the century， the disappearance of little Alice。Meanwhile， for spite， McCoy is frozen out of the investigation， leaving him available to find a dead rockstar and a needle。 Meanwhile， the niece of the commissioner above McCoy has run off and he’s asked to find her on the down low。 Don’t expect neat organized resolutions to any of these situations。 Don’t expect that justice will be served or that everyone lives happily ever after。 The point of this tale is really to follow McCoy’s experiences as he grows further and further morose and cynical。Parks does a great job of setting this novel both in time and place。 Although Bobby March is not too active in McCoy’s timeline， we learn about Bobby through a series of flashbacks。 For McCoy， his Glasgow is filled with graft， police brutality， and menacing crime lords who are deeply linked throughout society。Parks’ Harry McCoy novels， all four of them， are an unexpected treat。 。。。more

Reasonable but not outstanding in any way。 Tends to me rather misty eyed about some of the Glasgow violence of the 70s。

Another gripping Glasgow based novel from Alan Parks。 Four down so far and I can wait for the next。 It does make me glad that I encountered late 80s Glasgow rather than early 70s Glasgow mind you。 Late 80s could be rough （although people always fab） but early 70s sounds grimmer！

Third book I have read in series about Harry McCoy， a hard drinking out of control Glasgow cop with dubious links to a leading Glasgow gangster。Each book can be read as a stand alone 。This contained several plots including disappearance of a young girl 。Bobby March is a musician who died of an overdose and in some ways was a bit of an unnecessary distraction。As ever the harder side of Glasgow feature large and drug abuse and violence are never far away

The third book in the series and every bit as engrossing as the others。 In this novel that takes place in gritty 1970’s Glasgow， we find ourselves rooting for Harry McCoy， a self destructive， tortured cop who is looking for a missing girl， then another and trying to solve a suspected murder all the while mingling with the underbelly of society。 We get more of a sense of the author’s rock and roll background in the character of Bobby March and as McCoy moves in and out of rock venues around town。 The third book in the series and every bit as engrossing as the others。 In this novel that takes place in gritty 1970’s Glasgow， we find ourselves rooting for Harry McCoy， a self destructive， tortured cop who is looking for a missing girl， then another and trying to solve a suspected murder all the while mingling with the underbelly of society。 We get more of a sense of the author’s rock and roll background in the character of Bobby March and as McCoy moves in and out of rock venues around town。 Such a great series; I am so hooked！ 。。。more

I would like to extend my gratitude to the author， and NetGalley for sending this advanced reader's copy in return for a fair and honest review。I loved this book despite it being the 3rd written with the same protagonist in Harry McCoy。 I didn’t feel like I had missed out on anything。 The fact that this was set in 1970s Glasgow made it even better for me as I live there。 Granted not in any of the dirty， crime-ridden， homeless; and the huge drugs war that went on。 I loved being able to get the ac I would like to extend my gratitude to the author， and NetGalley for sending this advanced reader's copy in return for a fair and honest review。I loved this book despite it being the 3rd written with the same protagonist in Harry McCoy。 I didn’t feel like I had missed out on anything。 The fact that this was set in 1970s Glasgow made it even better for me as I live there。 Granted not in any of the dirty， crime-ridden， homeless; and the huge drugs war that went on。 I loved being able to get the actual picture in my head when McCoy is doing his job visiting particularly bad areas。 I enjoyed the hedonistic story of Bobby March。 He is typical of aging pop stars in this day and age having tried the usual trifecta sex， drugs and rock and roll。I feel like McCoy is like Rebus in many ways。 He has his own character about him。 I was engaged in the storyline also。 It kept me gripped until the end。 It was a bit of a slow burner but that did not bother me。 McCoy kept digging at it， introducing us to some of his lower-class friends。 I don’t want to write too much as I feel it may spoil for other readers。 I am definitely now going to buy the first two books now and probably this as well when it is published。 。。。more

As entertaining as the first two in the series， this novel continues the trials and tribulations of Harry McCoy。 This time around there is almost nothing about his past， as in the first two books， but his sidekick Wattie and his thug friend Stevie Cooper are still around。 This time McCoy has been side-lined from the investigation into a girl's disappearance。 Murray， his boss， is away doing duty elsewhere so McCoy's mortal enemy， Raeburn， has taken over and put Harry on the desk investigating rob As entertaining as the first two in the series， this novel continues the trials and tribulations of Harry McCoy。 This time around there is almost nothing about his past， as in the first two books， but his sidekick Wattie and his thug friend Stevie Cooper are still around。 This time McCoy has been side-lined from the investigation into a girl's disappearance。 Murray， his boss， is away doing duty elsewhere so McCoy's mortal enemy， Raeburn， has taken over and put Harry on the desk investigating robberies。 Then Murray briefly resurfaces to ask a small favor of Harry。 Nothing is small in this world， of course， and Harry dives into all these adventures。 With all the slum dwellings， criminal elements， corrupt polis and past relationships storming around him， Harry is just trying to keep his head above the waterline。 Fascinating book。 。。。more

Excellent read。Highly recommended。Alan Parks is a great writer and Harry McCoy a great character， combine a great writer with a great character and you usually have a great book and this is what you have here。 70s Glasgow has never seemed grimmer， you can almost taste and smell the hot summer setting and feel the tension of overheated egos。 All in all a very convincing read。Now to start at the beginning with Book 1。

Was recommended to read this author and got this book as it was on offer at the time。Even though it was the third in the series it did not spoil my enjoyment or cause confusion。Loved it， lots of action， fast paced， great （dark） humour， that Scotland is well known for。 The characters were well done and vivid。 The music references added to the story。 Will definitely be reading the rest of the series。

Strong plot and a very distinctive style！ Alan Park is definitely among the very best of crime writers。The story takes place in Glasgow in 1973 involving DI Harry McCoy and Parks has done a superb job in recreating the atmosphere and zeitgeist of the era in terms of rampant crime， drug trade， poverty and also the state of the police force。 The dialogues are sharp and witty and the story has several characters who are deeply flawed but very interesting （which includes McCoy himself）。 The plot is Strong plot and a very distinctive style！ Alan Park is definitely among the very best of crime writers。The story takes place in Glasgow in 1973 involving DI Harry McCoy and Parks has done a superb job in recreating the atmosphere and zeitgeist of the era in terms of rampant crime， drug trade， poverty and also the state of the police force。 The dialogues are sharp and witty and the story has several characters who are deeply flawed but very interesting （which includes McCoy himself）。 The plot is very credible and has numerous twists and turns and ends in a satisfactory but logical manner。 This is my first Alan Parks novel and surely won't be the last。 He's definitely one of my favourite authors。 。。。more
