Two-way Split by Allan Guthrie

Robin Greaves is an armed robber whose professionalism is put to the test when he discovers his wife has been sleeping with a fellow gang member. Robin plans the ultimate revenge, but things go from bad to worse when the gang bungles a post office robbery, leaving carnage in their wake. Suddenly they are being stalked by the police, sleazy private eyes and a cold-blooded killer who may be the only one not looking for a cut of the money.

'tough, fast-moving, funny.. a stripped-down, breathless, all-in-one-sitting read' 

* CWA's Debut Dagger award *

'Allan Guthrie has a bright - or should I say dark? - future in crime fiction'

-- Bill Pronzini, author of Blue Lonesome

'Allan Guthrie's debut novel cages spasm after spasm of hyperviolence within a frenzied 48-hour time frame ... there is no shortage of suspense and the tension ratchets up with each snatch of mayhem'

* Sunday Herald *

'As unsavoury characters clash in a complex but beautifully structured and paced plot, Guthrie has created a novel which is easily the match for any of the modern American masters of the noir genre'

* Big Issue *
