Description
It’s hard to be good when living is expensive. And times are tough on the streets these days. Luckily for Rilke at Bowery Auctions the demand for no-questions-asked cash is at an all-time high, and business is booming.
When Rilke hears his old acquaintance Les is fresh out of prison, his inclination is to stay well out of his way. Letting sleeping dogs lie is one thing – but when one of Bowery’s customers winds up dead on their tarmac, Rilke needs a bit of help from his friends to tidy things up. If only his friends didn’t have such a habit of making things worse.
Advance Praise
“Rilke is a brilliant creation: as raddled, queer and resilient as Glasgow itself”
ALAN CUMMING
“I loved everything about this book - the engaging characters, the credible backdrop to a clear, sharp plot, but most of all the writing. Oh my word, that writing!”
ANN CLEEVES
“As gritty as it is compelling, The Cut Up is a thrilling tale of murder, reset and Glasgow’s dark and dirty past. No detail slips Welsh’s eye for an undercurrent. Wonderful”
