Description
A Parcel of Rogues is a quirky, barbed comedy. Opportunistic and crafty, the main characters, Gourlay and McMinn, along with the herculean Big Red, become bumbling founding member of 'army' cells that they hope will bring about Scotland’s independence from Great Britain. With Scottish independence in the air, the author takes a few jabs not only at Sassenach overlords, but at his ain folk, and suggests that the disputatious Scots are too busy arguing among themselves to deal effectively with their southern neighbours.

Nigel G, Reviewer
It took me a while to get into this book, but I was very glad that I persevered through the first chapter. When the book got going, the storyline became more and more interesting ( albeit, some of the language incomprehensible to a non Scot), and I really began to enjoy the book.
Came to an end far too soon!
This is a writer that I will definitely look out for in the future and I look forward to reading more of his books.
Thank you.
