Items related to The Twilight Time
Anna Cameron is a new sergeant in the Flexi Unit. On her first day in the new job she discovers she'll be working with her ex, Jamie, now married and with a child. In at the deep end emotionally after many years without him, she's also plunged headlong into the underworld of Glasgow's notorious Drag—the haunt of working girls, drug dealers, and sad, seedy men. Someone is carving up the faces of local prostitutes, an old man has been brutally killed, and racist violence is on the rise; Anna must deal with all this alongside tensions and backstabbing within her own team.

Review:
"I loved it. A great, original character, and the plot fairly whizzes along." —Kate Atkinson, author, Case Histories
"Gritty as hell, shot through with black humour and with enough pace and atmosphere to give the likes of Denise Mina a run for their money. All this and the chutzpah to create a seedy and unpleasant superintendent named Rankin!" —Mark Billingham, author, Buried
"I couldn't stop reading. The slow-burn investigation and the car-crash relationships were absolutely compelling. . . . I loved it." —Catriona Macpherson, author, Bury Her Deep
"Karen Campbell has a wonderful ear for dialogue and I found the descriptions of Glasgow mesmerizing." —Vena Cork, author, Thorn
"The Twilight Time, powered by stiletto-sharp prose, is a pertinent expose of the contamination seeping into lives from prostitution and a drugs economy ruled by money-laundering thugs. But against this background, her story also vividly illustrates the physical and emotional damage caused to police officers by the vile reality of their work." —Anne Simpson, author, Falling
