DCI Alison McCoist is up to the oxters in Glasgow's shadiest police unit, with a list of guilty secrets growing longer by the day.

Ally is tasked with looking into this latest underworld rammy and ends up working with some bampots even dodgier than her polis pals. Can she keep Fran from being turned into mince by a Russian OCG and finally free herself from the fankle of police corruption she's caught in? An enemy from Ally's past is determined her story won't have such a happy ending..."-- PRAISE FOR CALLUM MCSORLEY" - --

"Twisting plots, grotesque lowlifes, black comedy, puns, over-the-top violence - and dialogue that bounces along to the rhythms of Glaswegian street slang" - The Times

"Callum McSorley has doubled down on what made Squeaky Clean such an amazing debut: his second novel is a cavalcade of gruesome violence, a welter of bodily fluids and a torrent of fantastically filthy language... A brilliant black comedy that repeatedly makes you squirm. Fizzing with energy and full of heart, it's one of those books that you simply don't want to end" - The Times

"The vibe is Taggart rewritten by Mick Herron. Gritty gang violence, plenty of black comedy, imaginative plot twists, wonderfully grotesque characters ... and reading them has also expanded my lexicon of insults" - The Times

"Plunges us straight back into the world we were introduced to in the first novel; a world of Weegie gangsters, Glasgow banter and truly horrible deaths. I mean, proper gory deaths. But funny, too. Which means, this is the opposite of cosy crime. The result is very Glasgow and all the better for it" - Herald

"Extremely funny, exciting and ultimately touching" - Literary Review

"A Glasgow noir that will thrill and amuse those with a wicked sense of humour and a love of gritty crime fiction" - Crime Time Review

"Brutally funny and brilliantly plotted, with an engaging cast of characters" - Glasgow Evening Times

"The new star of tartan noir" - The Times
