WINNER OF THE McILVANNEY PRIZE for SCOTTISH CRIME NOVEL OF THE YEAR\n\nFrom a hard-hitting and brutally funny new voice in crime writing comes the first in a new series starring DI Alison McCoist – the least popular detective in the Glasgow police.\n\nHalf the Glasgow copshop think DI Alison McCoist is bent. The other half just think she’s a fuck-up.\n\nNo one thinks very much at all about carwash employee Davey Burnet, until one day he takes the wrong customer’s motor for a ride.\n\nOne kidnapping later, he and the carwash are officially part of Glasgow’s criminal underworld, working for a psychopath who enjoys playing games like ‘Keep Yer Kneecaps’ with any poor bastard who crosses him.\n\nCan Davey escape from the gang’s clutches with his kneecaps and life intact? Perhaps this polis Ally McCoist who keeps nosing around the carwash could help. That’s if she doesn’t get herself killed first.\n\nDon’t miss this propulsively readable story of two likeable but flawed characters sucked into a grim criminal underworld –think wayward Scottish police meets Breaking Bad.
