*THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*

*A SUNDAY TIMES THRILLER OF THE MONTH*

A gloriously funny mystery Telegraph

An enjoyably dark and entertaining tranche of Glasgow noir . . . Imagine Withnail and I stumbling into a Bond movie co-written by William McIlvanney and Mick Herron . . . [A] deft, engaging thriller Observer

Glasgow, 2015. When Valium addict Felix McAveety s best friend Marina is found murdered in the local park, he goes looking for answers to questions that he quickly forgets. In a haze of uppers, hallucinogens, and diazepam, Felix enlists the help of a brilliant but mercurial GP; a bright young trade unionist; a failing screenwriter; semi-celebrity crime novelist Jane Pickford; and his crisis fuelled downstairs neighbour Donnie.

Their investigation sends them on a bewildering expedition that takes in Scottish radical politics, Artificial Intelligence, cults, secret agents, smugglers and vegan record shops.

Meantime is a picaresque detective story set against the backdrop of post-referendum Scotland. Frankie Boyle s compelling debut novel is a tale of murder and revenge, and of personal and political loss.

A darkest noir, unputdownable crime novel that swerves and surprises, with a gut-punch ending. I loved it! Denise Mina, author of The Long Drop

Reads like a twisted Caledonian take on Robert Altman s The Long Goodbye. Inherent vices and scalpel-sharp jokes vie with a very human concern for those least garlanded in the rat race of life Ian Rankin

Part whodunnit, part social safari, part extended stand-up monologue . . . the novel is full of scintillating sentences and perfect lines of dialogue Sunday Times

A surprisingly moving and beautiful journey through one man s shitshow of a friend s death / hangover Lucy Prebble, executive producer and writer of Succession
