"An excellent, authentic Scottish whodunit." - Rob Mars, Amazon review

Nobody sheds a tear when the body of Scott Stevenson, a local troublemaker, turns up with an ivory tusk driven through his torso. D.C.I. Alex Warren is tasked with bringing the killer to justice.

But the case turns out to be more complicated than expected, as they begin to investigate the numerous people Stevenson has harmed. When they stumble upon a web of crimes motivated by sex and greed, it begins to look like there's much more to the case than they anticipated.

With the body count rising and clues few and far between, can Alex Warren and his team close the case before more lives are lost?

First book in the Scottish crime series by Zach Abrams, Made A Killing is a fast-moving, gripping tartan noir mystery set in the tough, crime-ridden streets of Glasgow.

What readers are saying about Made A Killing:
- Tight cast of interesting characters
- Mr. Abrams does a great job of bringing the gritty streets of Glasgow to life
- I found it so hard to stop reading that I missed my regular Tuesday TV show
- This book is an intriguing escape. It was dark but not too dark. As a reader, I enjoyed every twist and turn. The setting is made authentic not only by the author's Glasgow upbringing but his ability to visualize the grey, gloomy Scottish November that is a perfect setting for this whodunit
- The characters were great. The reason for the murder was believable. I can see it happening in real life

After a successful career in business and finance, Zach Abrams recently started writing fiction. His first novel 'Ring Fenced' was published in November 2011. This is a crime story with a difference, having an underlying theme of obsession, power and control. This novel was followed by a collaboration with Elly Grant to produce 'Twists and Turns' a book of short stories and flash fiction. Alike his central character in 'Ring Fenced,' (Benjamin Short), Zach Abrams completed his education in Scotland and went on to a career in business and finance. He is married with two children. He plays no instruments but has an eclectic taste in music, although not as obsessive as Benjamin. Unlike Benjamin, he does not maintain mistresses, write pornography and (sadly) he does not have ownership of such a valuable company. He is not a sociopath (at least by his own reckoning) and all versions of his life are aware of and freely communicate with each other. Zach has completed his second novel 'Made a Killing' which has recently been published. This is a fast moving, gripping novel set in the tough crime-ridden streets of Glasgow. More in keeping with ‘Made a Killing,’ Zach was raised in Glasgow and has spent many years working in Central Scotland
