Book description
A collection of interlinked tales of crime and retribution laced with
dark humour, set around the festive season - from the No. 1 bestseller
Stuart MacBride
Thieves, drug dealers, lap-dancers, gangsters and even the odd good guy
populate these twelve tales exploring the seedier side of life in North
East Scotland. Praise for Stuart MacBride:

is crime fiction of the highest order'
Mark Billingham
'Some of the grittiest crime-writing in the field'
Independent
'Admirers of tough, modern crime novels will be in seventh heaven - or
should that be hell?'
Express
'Ferocious and funny, this is Tartan Noir at its best'
Val McDermid
'Hard-hitting prose with a bone-dry humour and characters you can
genuinely believe in, Stuart MacBride's novels are a real treat'
