It has the momentum of a thriller harnessed to the substance of a modern classic' Scotland on Sunday 'A sophisticated storyteller and portrayer of character, who writes in rhythmic prose enriched with original imagery' Sunday Times 'Astonishing ... The novel is filled with colourful eccentrics and unworldly happenings, quirky characters and supernatural undercurrents ... Exceptionally well-written' Times Literary Supplement 'Seethes with originality ... An ingenious, sardonic and seductive roman noir' New York Times Book Review
