Falling

By Gordon Brown

Charlie Wiggs is a quiet, unassuming accountant who has worked in a Glasgow firm for thirty years.

When he agreed to look after a package for a work colleague, he didn't expect to be flung from the roof of a forty-story building. He didn't intend to be caught up in a world of money laundering and blackmail. Nor did he ever think he would find himself being hunted by a vicious criminal gang.

Forced to flee for his life Charlie is reluctantly joined by George, a maintenance man, and Tina, George's girlfriend.

The trio find themselves falling into a world they are ill-equipped to deal with. A world populated by criminals and death. A world that gives them three choices: run, die or fight back ...
