#1 The Long Midnight Of Barney Thomson
Barney Thomson — awkward, diffident, Glasgow barber — lives a life of desperate mediocrity. Shunned at work and at home, unable to break out of a twenty-year rut, each dull day blends seamlessly into the next.
However, there is no life so tedious that it cannot be spiced up by inadvertent murder, a deranged psychopath, and a freezer full of neatly packaged meat. Barney Thomson’s uninteresting life is about to go from 0 to 60 in five seconds, as he enters the grotesque and comically absurd world of the serial killer…
#2 The Cutting Edge Of Barney Thomson
Murder is Getting to be a Habit!
With the press accusing him of every crime since Jack the Ripper (including Don Masson’s missed penalty against Peru in 1978), Scotland’s most notorious – and misunderstood – serial killer, Barney Thomson, is on the run. The Holy Order of the Monks of St John seems the ideal hide-out for a sad little Glasgow barber with a fear of small talk. As "Brother Jacob" he’s even managing to keep his hand in with some part-time barbery – even if his legendary creative genius is limited to just three styles (Mike McShane in "Robin Hood", Sean Connery In "The Name of the Rose" and "Cadfael".) Only with the police hot on his trail, Brother Jacob has just discovered that he’s chosen the only monastery in Britain that already has its full complement of serial killers!
#3 Murderers Anonymous
With the murder of two former colleagues and 32 assorted monks, Barney Thomson has achieved a notoriety most serial killers only dream of. But when he tries to surrender to the authorities, no one will believe that he is the real Barney Thomson. And joining Murderers Anonymous is no help either.
#4 The Resurrection Of Barney Thomson
At the end of MURDERERS ANONYMOUS, Barney Thomson’s future seemed bleak. In fact, it seemed non-existent. However, for a reason that he can’t quite get to the bottom of, he finds that he has a whole new lease of life as personal barber to the First Minister of the Scottish Executive. Unexpectedly thrown into the world of political intrigue and scandal, Barney’s life is at least given some consistency when a serial killer begins to pick off members of the cabinet in a series of brutal (but very popular) murders.
#5 The Last Fish Supper
Barney Thomson is a restless soul in search of a quiet town in which to settle. He thinks he might just have found it in Millport on the Isle of Cumbrae and life can at last bring him some peace. It might have done, but for things like the dead body at the bottom of the stairs, and the very outside possibility of Armageddon.
#6 The Haunting Of Barney Thomson
As Barney Thomson is closing up the barbershop for the night, an old man enters looking for a Cary Grant cut and a bit of a chat. The following day, Barney discovers that his late night customer was the captain of a fishing trawler which had been found abandoned on the Clyde over one hundred years ago.
#7 The Final Cut
Searching for answers to his tortured, murder-filled existence, Barney Thomsn is drawn to take a job in London. Such is Barney’s fate, that just as he arrives, a serial killer by the name of Harlequin Sweetlips begins to run amok among executives of Bethlehem’s company. Suddenly, Barney is again in the middle of a multiple murder investigation.
