But when a homeless man is brought in for questioning the investigation takes a bizarre turn ...Never Somewhere Else is a highly visual, stylish and powerfully written tale that leads the reader through the streets of Glasgow on a compelling journey of discovery that never fails to keep the pages turning.

Reviews

"Alex Gray is a welcome new member of the Tartan noir pack." Val McDermid
"Gray's is a supremely confident debut. The prose is direct and evocative and the plot is jam-packed with the kind of classic ingredients - clues, suspects, red herrings - that will have readers racing urgently towards the denouement until, red-eyed in the wee hours, the killer is unmasked." The List
"Gray obviously has the talent to develop characters and complexity." Jane Jakeman, Scotland on Sunday
"A well paced novel, easy to read, which keeps you guessing till the end. This is the kind of book that would be a great one-off TV crime drama." What's on in London
"For an exceedingly easy crime read with enjoyable Glasgow detail, look no further than Never Somewhere Else, the acclaimed debut by Alex Gray. Take it on holiday - but be warned, you may be too engrossed to top up your suntan lotion." Caledonia
"In her debut novel, Gray enters the world of Caledonian Noir with a dark page-turner which firmly establishes the existential DCI Lorimer as a real threat to Inspector Rebus." The Herald
