Reviews
"'This is the kind of zany novel in which a dope-dealer's dogs are not dobermans but miniature dachshunds, and a family of gangsters are called the Sangsters. Fans of graphic comedy - as purveyed by Chris Brookmyre and Stuart MacBride - will love it'"
Times
"'a piece of very enjoyable fiction... this detective story is written with great verve and introduces us to an engaging hero'"
