✦ Synopsis


"Great fun and daft as monkeys" β€” Stuart MacBride, #1 bestselling author of BIRTHDAYS FOR THE DEAD

Barney Thomson β€” awkward, diffident, Glasgow barber β€” lives a life of desperate mediocrity. Shunned at work and at home, unable to break out of a twenty-year rut, each dull day blends seamlessly into the next.

However, there is no life so tedious that it cannot be spiced up by inadvertent murder, a deranged psychopath, and a freezer full of neatly packaged meat.

Barney Thomson's uninteresting life is about to go from 0 to 60 in five seconds, as he enters the grotesque and comically absurd world of the serial killer

Praise for Douglas Lindsay:

"The plot, Russian literature fans, is a modern spin on Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment. The bloody ending, movie buffs, is pure Reservoir Dogs." – The Mirror

"This is pitch-black comedy spun from the finest writing. Fantastic plot, unforgettable scenes and plenty of twisted belly laughs." – New Woman

"This chilling black comedy unfolds at dizzying speed...an impressive debut novel." – Sunday Mirror

"Gleefully macabre, hugely enjoyable black burlesque." – The Scotsman
