"The vibe is Taggart rewritten by Mick Herron. Gritty gang violence, plenty of black comedy, imaginative plot twists, wonderfully grotesque characters ... and reading them has also expanded my lexicon of insults"
The Times
"Extremely funny, exciting and ultimately touching"
Literary Review
"Twisting plots, grotesque lowlifes, black comedy, puns, over-the-top violence - and dialogue that bounces along to the rhythms of Glaswegian street slang"
The Times
"Callum McSorley has doubled down on what made Squeaky Clean such an amazing debut: his second novel is a cavalcade of gruesome violence, a welter of bodily fluids and a torrent of fantastically filthy language... A brilliant black comedy that repeatedly makes you squirm. Fizzing with energy and full of heart, it's one of those books that you simply don't want to end"
