Confessional: A Tartan Noir

By GERRY QUINN

How far would you go for the story that could make your name?

Jamie Kerr is a rising Glasgow football podcaster with a growing audience, a carefully arranged flat, and a hunger to be taken seriously. Then he is contacted by Malky McQueen - a notorious former East End crime figure, now reinvented as an artist and writer.

Malky says he wants to tell his side of the story.

For Jamie, it is the opportunity he has been waiting for: an exclusive interview, a chance to move beyond football talk and prove he is more than just another voice online. But the deeper he is drawn into Malky's world, the more the lines begin to blur between journalism and exploitation, truth and performance, ambition and complicity.

Friends warn him. A retired detective warns him. A journalist who remembers the old cases warns him. But Jamie believes he can control the story.

He is wrong.

Set against the streets, pubs, loyalties and silences of Glasgow, Confessional is a tense psychological crime thriller about reputation, manipulation, masculinity, class, and the dangerous power of giving the wrong man a platform.

Because some men do not confess to be forgiven.

They confess to take control.
