CUTTING ROOM

Given just one week to clear a large house, dissolute auctioneer Rilke comes upon a hidden collection of violent and highly disturbing photographs. The cache of violent erotica leads him on a compulsive search for the creators, and victims, of the pornography. Threats, blood, police officers, we see the grimier side of Glasgow as Rilke feels compelled to discover more about the deceased owner who coveted them. Soon he finds himself sucked into an underworld of crime, depravity and secret desire, fighting for his life. A rather gothic noir novel with a fabulous cast of characters. 306pp, paperback.
