Description

A collection of interlinked tales of crime and retribution laced with dark humour, set around the festive season from the No. 1 bestseller Stuart MacBride
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me

Twelve days, twelve stories.

Meet Fat Billy Partridge, possibly the worst cat-burglar ever; newbie drug-dealer Brian, who probably shouldnt be taking advantage of the jobs fringe benefits; Philippe, a chef with anger-management issues and lots of very sharp knives; Mr Unwin, the undertaker with the golden touch; and Lord Peter Forsyth-Leven, MSP, learning the hard way that having it all means youve got so much more to lose

Thieves, drug dealers, lap-dancers, gangsters and even the odd good guy populate these twelve interlinked tales of crime and retribution set around the festive season.

Reviews

Praise for Stuart MacBride:

Fierce, unflinching and shot through with the blackest of humour; this is crime fiction of the highest order
Mark Billingham

Some of the grittiest crime-writing in the field
Independent

Admirers of tough, modern crime novels will be in seventh heaven or should that be hell
Express

Ferocious and funny, this is Tartan Noir at its best
Val McDermid

Hard-hitting prose with a bone-dry humour and characters you can genuinely believe in, Stuart MacBrides novels are a real treat
Simon Kernick
