The Sparrow Conundrum

Chris Machin may think he's just a teacher, but the bottom feeders in Aberdeen squabbling over North Sea oil and gas contracts prefer to use his code-name - Sparrow. When his garden explodes he takes flight, unleashing various forms of Scottish mayhem.

More complications are added by his ex girlfriend and a sociopathic policeman whose hobbies are violence, making arrests and, best of all, combining the two. Several murders later, two wrestlers, a road trip to Inverness, a fishing trawler, a Russian factory ship, and some fragments of a postman complete the enigma of...

... The Sparrow Conundrum.
