Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. Condition: Very Good. Trade Paperback. Bright blue illustrated wrappers show light edge and corner wear, minor surface wear, and a few small impressions to the page edges. Spine remains clean and binding is sound. Photographed interior pages are clean. The novel incorporates distinctive experimental typography, including interpolated text enclosed by large graphic braces. Listing photos show the exact copy included in this sale.

Bruce Robertson serves as an unreliable antihero whose deteriorating mental state transforms the police investigation into a dark study of corruption, addiction, abuse of power, and self-destruction. Experimental elements include an intestinal parasite that develops its own narrative voice and appears through unusual typography within Robertson's narration. The dark satire and transgressive approach distinguish the novel from conventional police procedurals. A 2013 film adaptation starring James McAvoy brought the story to a wider audience. The novel also belongs to the contemporary Scottish literary tradition associated with gritty urban fiction and Edinburgh life.…
