Gimme Shelter is a Scottish High Fidelity......with a gun.
Ex-frontman Frank is finished with music. And people. In a remote Scottish farmhouse he lives in silence and in secret. And after all the misery he's caused everyone who cared, he'd have it no other way.
Second-hand music dealer Ivan is at last almost happy. His gangland uncles being imprisoned means he's finally free from their 'business'...And the rest of the family too.
But Ivan's cousins- a Portuguese, Floyd-obsessed stoner, and a half-witted, Scottish psycho- have other ideas, leaving him no choice but to agree to one last job...Then he can get back to buying and selling the music he loves.
Or so he thinks. Because with all the threats, chaos and well, idiocy that follow, Ivan will find himself very close to one of his heroes. Closer than he ever thought possible…
..And we all know what they say about meeting your heroes.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I'm from the West of Scotland.
I was born just too late for punk and bang on time for Thatcher. Thank you!
I like my wife, the Clash and maybe two or three other people.
I dislike the insatiable greed of capitalism, the brutal injustices of zionism and Michael MacIntyre.
As well as this piece of humourous Glasgow noir, suspense novel 'A Suspect Device', is also available.
EDITED APR 2014: THANK YOU
