Woody Buchman Glasgow
When your empire collapses, sometimes all that’s left is your worst habit—and maybe a second chance.
After fleeing Canada with a fake identity and a suitcase full of guilt, disgraced financier Woody Buchman arrives in Glasgow with nothing but £5,000 and an unquenchable thirst for oblivion. One blackout later, he wakes up in a jail cell, penniless and half-dead.
In the fog of withdrawal and regret, Woody reconnects with Bonnie—a sharp-tongued escort with a steel spine and a streetwise heart. She’s held onto his cash, his secrets, and possibly his last shot at redemption. When Bonnie introduces him to East End crime boss Tam McGraw, Woody plunges deeper into a world of corruption, laundering dirty money while building a high-end escort service with a moral twist: he’s protecting the women. Or so he tells himself.
As the business grows, so do the lies he tells himself-until the drugs and alcohol bring him crashing down. On the edge of death, Woody opens his eyes to find a ghost from his past: Anna, the woman who left him, and the mother of a son he never knew.
Now, with his old life in ruins and a child in his arms, Woody trades the underworld for a new hustle—coffee. Real business. Clean money. Maybe even peace.
Woody Buchman Glasgow is a razor-sharp, darkly funny journey through addiction, crime, and the long road to recovery, with just enough heart to make you believe in second chances.
