The dark, rawly comic follow-up to the winner of the McIlvanney Prize for best Scottish crime book of the year.
'A serious talent' Kevin Bridges
'Inventive and witty, with a nerve-shredding finale' Chris Brookmyre
'An outstanding new writer who is destined to become a very big name' Peter James
DCI Alison McCoist is back: newly promoted and even less popular.
Chuck Gardner is the proud owner of both a confidential paper-shredding business and a serious betting habit.
When Chuck finds some scandalous paperwork and McCoist investigates a rat-nibbled corpse under a flyover, they are both sucked into a deadly stramash of gangland wars and police corruption.
Can Chuck solve his gambling and gangster problems before some head-banger feeds him into his own shredder? And can McCoist claw herself out of this latest shitemire without her own shady dealings coming to light? It might depend on how far she's prepared to go...
"Callum McSorley has doubled down on what made Squeaky Clean such an amazing debut: his second novel is a cavalcade of gruesome violence, a welter of bodily fluids and a torrent of fantastically filthy language... A brilliant black comedy that repeatedly makes you squirm. Fizzing with energy and full of heart, it's one of those books that you simply don't want to end" - The Times, Crime Book of the Month
"The vibe is Taggart rewritten by Mick Herron. Gritty gang violence, plenty of black comedy, imaginative plot twists, wonderfully grotesque characters ... and reading them has also expanded my lexicon of insults" - The Times
"Plunges us straight back into the world we were introduced to in the first novel; a world of Weegie gangsters, Glasgow banter and truly horrible deaths. I mean, proper gory deaths. But funny, too. Which means, this is the opposite of cosy crime. The result is very Glasgow and all the better for it" - Herald
"Extremely funny, exciting and ultimately touching" - Literary Review
"A Glasgow noir that will thrill and amuse those with a wicked sense of humour and a love of gritty crime fiction" - Crime Time Review
"Brutally funny and brilliantly plotted, with an engaging cast of characters" - Glasgow Evening Times
"A terrific mix of twisting police procedural, pitch-black comedy, slapstick, puns and over-the-top violence. And, of course, the dialogue is delivered in Glasgow's finest street slang. Think Mick Herron meets Taggart" - The Times
"The new star of tartan noir" - The Times
"Side-splittingly funny and fascinatingly brutal in equal measure" - Scottish Field
"Praise for Squeaky Clean:" - .
"An amazingly accomplished debut" - The Times, Crime Book of the Month
"An astonishingly good debut. Wonderfully rounded characters, misfits all, who we really care about, in a compelling story laced with humour and humanity. Callum McSorley is an outstanding new writer who is destined to become a very big name in the genre" - Peter James
"An uproarious, sardonic noir thriller from the Glasgow depths... Brutal, wonderfully humorous and a great addition to Tartan Noir, this novel unveils a terrific new talent" - Crime Time
"McSorley writes with a wonderfully light touch... There is humour on every page, too - this really is a very funny book despite the dark material. Both main characters are works of genius, and I very much hope there will be a sequel" - Scotsman
"A smart, nasty and really rather heartbreaking thriller set in and around a Glasgow car wash. Our introduction to DI Alison McCoist (yes, yes, she's heard all the jokes) and likely to be the first of many" - Herald
"Violent and action packed but full of wit and dark humour" - I Read With Ghosts
"A fantastic new voice in Tartan Noir, it was gritty, bleak and definitely violent but expertly balanced with plenty of dark humour. I was so thrilled that the story was set up perfectly for a sequel" - The Butler Did It...
"Fresh and vibrant... A superb debut. Callum McSorley is a new kid on the Scottish crime block" - Alex J Book Reviews
"A fast-paced thriller with a dark sense of humour, a grisly crime caper in the vein of Breaking Bad and Guilt" - Sunday Mail
"An absolute blast, and only strengthens the Scottish reputation for producing exceedingly good crime thrillers, tinged with laconic wit, and dark, dark, humour... It reads like a brilliant mash up of Irvine Welsh and Alan Parks... I can't recommend this one highly enough" - Raven Crime Reads
"An account of urban degradation, organised crime, social misery, police corruption and hard men, with a brilliant plot and some wit, both in story and language... Tough and impressive, but will not be waved around by the Glasgow tourist board" - The Critic
"Gritty, bloody and oozing with the menace of the underworld... McSorley has crafted an accomplished novel that is already being hailed as a classic of the Tartan Noir genre. [Squeaky Clean] cracks along at a rare pace, and combines an easy writing style, an ear for dialogue and a nice line in dry wit... The sort of page-turner which ensures that once you've started, you'll keep going until the final, gripping denouement" - Scottish Field
