Last Orders

Last Orders is an exciting and thrilling anthology of short crime fiction, featuring the return of Edinburgh investigator Gus Dury. In the title story Dury receives a mysterious letter on expensive paper but is hesitant to take the case - but he needs the cash, though there's something about his well-heeled client that doesn't sit quite right. Meanwhile a low-life drug-dealer has a sudden change of heart as he takes revenge on his cheating partner in 'London Calling'. A victim of high school date rape settles the score, the crew of a bank job suspect that one of their number tipped off the police and so take their grisly retribution and a performance-enhanced bodybuilder loses control with bloody consequences in just some of the stories featured in this original collection by Irvine Welsh's 'favourite British crime writer', Tony Black.

Tony Black is an award-winning journalist, an internationally sought artist and the author of some of the most critically acclaimed British crime fiction of recent times. He has written more than twenty titles, including: The Storm Without (the first Doug Michie crime thriller), the Gus Dury series (Penguin Random House), Paying for It, Gutted, Loss, Long Time Dead, and Wrecked. Literary titles include His Father's Son and The Last Tiger (runner-up in The Guardian's Not The Booker Prize). Tony's short story collection Last Orders is also published by McNidder & Grace.
