The most terrifying character in Trainspotting returns - with his own novel
Irvine Welsh was born and raised in Edinburgh. His first novel, Trainspotting, has sold over one million copies in the UK and was adapted into an era-defining film. He has written thirteen further novels, including the number one bestseller Dead Men's Trousers, four books of shorter fiction and numerous plays and screenplays. Crime and The Long Knives have been adapted into a television series starring Dougray Scott as Ray Lennox. Irvine Welsh currently lives between London, Edinburgh and Miami.
Back to his violent best… Dark, gruesome and captivating.
*Esquire*
It’s a thriller in the mode of Tarantino making war films or
westerns; hiding grand themes within genre.
*Skinny*
Intense, electrifying… Welsh has delivered a tremendously
entertaining book – a whodunit, a thriller, and a probing character
study – that’s obsessed with conflict, both physical and mental… A
surprisingly poignant, evocative read – highly recommended.
*Mr Hyde*
In a year when filming begins on Danny Boyle’s sequel of sorts to
Trainspotting, it seems perfect timing to revisit its most visceral
force.
*Skinny*
[Begbie’s] intelligence and instinct make him compelling, and Welsh
keep the plot roaring along… This is a dark, guilty pleasure and
written with – it seems to me – the cinema screen in mind.
*The Times*
