Charlie has only one solution: team up with the violent, bitter mastermind and steal the drawing backand in the process, become one of the most notorious train robbers in British history.
Praise for FALLING TOO:
Falling Too is a praiseworthy encore to Browns debut novel, Falling, and more fun than a barrel of Glenfiddish. J.L. Abramo, Shamus Award-winning author of Circling the Runway
Gordon Browns Falling Too starts at a gallop and doesnt let up. A highly enjoyable read that is as much fun as it is gritty and pacey. This is Tartan Noir at its finest. Matt Hilton, author of the Joe Hunter thrillers
Praise for FALLING:
Chaos reigns as the plot comes thick and fast in this thriller told from alternating perspectives of a brilliantly drawn cast of characters. If Guy Richie is looking for his next hit crime caper, he could do worse. Daily Record
Throughout, Brown keeps a firm, skilful grip on his material in what turns out to be a very promising debut novel. The Herald
