Mark Wilson is a cracking storyteller, with each book more satisfying than it's predecessor. I love that you never know quite what to expect and that he doesn't box himself into a certain genre, as he is clearly a skilled and talented author. It's great to read something which has local points of reference and for that I thank Mark, and also Des McAnulty (Life is Local), for putting Lanarkshire firmly on the map.

Davie Diller is an emotionally inept young man and a scary bastard. I think I quite fancy him! I was particularly pleased to see PTSD feature in the novel and be handled in a respectful and realistic manner.
I devoured the entire book in one sitting. This novella introduces a strongly drawn protagonist and an excellent supporting cast. Toe-curling acts of violence sit alongside laugh out loud humour in a style reminiscent of Brookmyre. Great stuff.
