The Blade Artist by Irvine Welsh
But as he confronts his previous life, all those friends and enemies and, most alarmingly, his former self Francis seems to have other ideas. When Melanie discovers something gruesome in California, which indicates that her husbands violent past might also be his psychotic present, things start to go very bad, very quickly.
Back to his violent best… Dark, gruesome and captivating-- Sam Parker * Esquire *
It’s a thriller in the mode of Tarantino making war films or westerns; hiding grand themes within genre. -- Alan Bett * Skinny *
Intense, electrifying… Welsh has delivered a tremendously entertaining book – a whodunit, a thriller, and a probing character study – that’s obsessed with conflict, both physical and mental… A surprisingly poignant, evocative read – highly recommended. * Mr Hyde *
In a year when filming begins on Danny Boyle’s sequel of sorts to Trainspotting, it seems perfect timing to revisit its most visceral force. * Skinny *
[Begbie’s] intelligence and instinct make him compelling, and Welsh keep the plot roaring along… This is a dark, guilty pleasure and written with – it seems to me – the cinema screen in mind. -- Kate Muir * The Times *
