The Bullet Trick by Louise Welsh
When down-at-heel Glasgow conjurer, William Wilson gets booked for a string of cabaret gigs in Berlin, he's hoping his luck's on the turn. There were certain spectators from his last show who he'd rather forget. Like the one who's now a corpse. Amongst the showgirls and tricksters of Berlin's scandalous underground Wilson can abandon his heart, his head and, more importantly, his past. But secrets have a habit of catching up with him and, as he gets sucked into certain lucrative after-hours work, the line between what's an act and what's real starts to blur.
"In Louise Welsh crime fiction has one of its few real literary writers.. Crime fiction may have its prize-winner at last." Independent "Brilliant... Every vignette, every minor character, every sight, sound and smell, has the ring of truth." Sunday Telegraph "Bold, imaginative, vibrant." Daily Telegraph "Welsh's prose manages to be both tight and lyrical, suspenseful and poetic, compelling. Catapult[s] Welsh straight into the superstar league." The Times"
