Book excerpt: ***This book is also available in THE BARBERSHOP SEVEN - the collected Barney Thomson novels*** 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.
