About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Justice can be a blunt instrument.
'Men like him usually tell the story.
In business.
Politics.
Media.
But not this time: I repeat, he is not writing this story.'
Ritchie Gulliver MP is dead. Castrated and left to bleed in an empty Leith warehouse.
Vicious, racist and corrupt, many thought he had it coming. But nobody could have predicted this.
After the life Gulliver has led, the suspects are many: corporate rivals, political opponents, the countless groups he's offended. And the vulnerable and marginalised, who bore the brunt of his cruelty—those without a voice, without a choice, without a chance.
As Detective Ray Lennox unravels the truth, and the list of brutal attacks grows, he must put his personal feelings aside. But one question refuses to go away....
Who are the real victims here?

Glue is the story of four boys growing up in the Edinburgh schemes, and about the loyalties, the experiences, and the secrets that hold them together into their 30s. Four boys becoming men: Juice Terry, the work-shy fanny-merchant, with corkscrew curls and sticky fingers; Billy the boxer, driven, controlled, playing to his strengths; Carl, the Milky Bar Kid, drifting along to his own soundtrack; and the doomed Gally, who seems to find catastrophe at every corner.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 67
Juice is a man who contains multitudes: He's a top shagger; a drug-dealing, gonzo porn star; and taxi driver. As we ride along in Juice's cab through the depraved streets of Edinburgh, Juice encounters a series of charmingly filthy characters, all of whom present their own, uh, unique challenges. Has he finally met his match in Hurricane "Bawbag"? Can he discover the fate of the missing beauty, Jinty Magdalen, and keep her idiot-savant lover, the man-child Wee Jonty, out of prison?

Boisterous, ribald, and ultimately shattering, Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest has left an indelible mark on the literature of our time. Turning conventional notions of sanity and insanity on their heads, the novel tells the unforgettable story of a mental ward and its inhabitants, especially tyrannical Big Nurse Ratched and Randle Patrick McMurphy, the brawling, fun-loving new inmate who resolves to oppose her.

Northern Ireland, spring 1981. Hunger strikes, riots, power cuts, a homophobic serial killer with a penchant for opera, and a young woman’s suicide that may yet turn out to be murder: on the surface, the events are unconnected, but then things—and people—aren’t always what they seem. Detective Sergeant Duffy is the man tasked with trying to get to the bottom of it all. It’s no easy job—especially when it turns out that one of the victims was involved in the IRA but was last seen discussing business with someone from the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force.

loved it and loved to see one of my favorite cops
Was a very nice touch to wrap up DI Ray Lennoxs story loved him in Filth, even though he's not the main character, lived Crime and this was very good but doesn't have everything that I come to expect from one of my favorite writers, didn't feel forced or phoned in but just seemed to miss that edge or maybe it was me but you can't go wrong with this book, tragic and gut wrenching at times but mostly about a "bad,good guy" stratles the line but not really. he's human and has his many vices but at the end of the day he wants to put the people away that hurt kids, or people who can't protect themselves so yes he drinks like a fish and snorts loads of ching but he also cares about missing children and putting away the scum that could hurt someone as innocent as a child. so his reason is just ,but the way he goes about it while not necessarily legal still gets it done. also loved to see him in this from who and how he was in Filth and again in Crime, this almost seems to complete the character arc. but great performance and really enjoyed the book.
