Paperboy

A dark, rawly comic Glaswegian thriller, the sequel to Squeaky Clean, winner of the McIlvanney Prize for best Scottish crime book of the year __________ 'McSorley consolidates his status among crime fiction's rising stars. Paperboy is energetic, inventive and witty, laying on the tension as it builds to a nerve-shredding finale' Chris Brookmyre 'Just when you're thinking Squeaky Clean is probably the perfect crime novel, along comes Paperboy. The biggest laughs, the seediest urban underbelly, the most irreparably flawed yet inexorably engaging cast' Sofia Slater, author of The Serpent Dance 'Absolutely loved Paperboy, as dark as a dungeon at midnight but a lot more fun. Sparkling dialogue, startling violence and some truly terrifying villains. And as for Ally McCoist, what can I say? She shoots, she scores!' Trevor Wood, author of 'The Man on the Street' __________ DCI Alison McCoist is back: newly promoted and even less popular. Chuck Gardner is the proud owner of both a confidential paper-shredding business and a serious betting habit. When Chuck finds some scandalous paperwork and McCoist investigates a rat-nibbled corpse under a flyover, they are both sucked into a deadly stramash of gangland wars and police corruption. Can Chuck solve his gambling and gangster problems before some heed-banger feeds him into his own shredder? And can McCoist claw herself out of this latest shitemire without her own shady dealings coming to light? It might depend on how far she's prepared to go...
