Description

The dark, rawly comic follow-up to the winner of the McIlvanney Prize for best Scottish crime book of the year.

'A serious talent' Kevin Bridges

'Inventive and witty, with a nerve-shredding finale' Chris Brookmyre

'An outstanding new writer who is destined to become a very big name' Peter James
