Synopsis
Using a tanning salon as a front, Edinburgh-based Carlos Morales runs an operation that arranges contract killings. Slight snag: his hit man’s in jail and won’t be out for a while. So when an anonymous – and very generous – payment arrives on account, Carlos decides to take the job on himself. He’s a pro. It can’t be that hard. But once the ‘mark’ is revealed, Carlos is forced to re-think his plans. This is no longer business - it’s personal - because the ‘mark’ is his mother… “Blacker than a dog’s guts.” — Pulp Pusher “Speedy, dialogue-driven and cleverly structured.” — Sunday Herald “A dark, perfectly placed journey through psychoses, surreality and the twilight world of noir.” — Crime Scene Scotland “Razor-sharp characterization and an evocative sense of place…dark and splendid.” — the Guardian “Guthrie writes with an urgency, energy, cynical realism and mastery of casual violence that is rarely encountered in British crime writing” — The Times “Guthrie’s control of this dark material is sheer wizardry.” — the Scotsman
