What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin

The #1 Sunday Times bestseller is back with a powerful, riveting novel, as maverick investigator Ray Lennox discovers that confronting his past could cost him everything.

OLD TRUTHS HAVE NEW CONSEQUENCES

Ray Lennox is determined to move on from his darkest days. The former detective has left Edinburgh for a fresh start in Brighton. Soon, his fixations and addictions have been replaced with quiet evenings and a rigorous fitness regime.

Then Lennox meets Mathew Cardingworth. Rich, smooth-talking and immaculately dressed, he presents himself as a successful, and respectable, property developer. Yet their encounter reawakens memories that have haunted Lennox for decades, sending him into a spiral of confusion and rage.

Lennox has no choice – he must confront the events of his childhood. But the more he identifies the links between Cardingworth, the disappearance of a group of foster care boys and the violence of his past, the more he finds himself asking:

What will he sacrifice to achieve resolution at last?

The Times
You never know what you're going to get with Irvine Welsh, other than guaranteed intelligence. But what you get in Crime is a triumph... There's only one Welsh and you should be reading him again
Observer
Welsh writes with a skill, wit and compassion that amounts to genius. He is the best thing that has happened to British writing for decades
Sunday Times
If you like your crime dramas Scottish and sweary, this one's for you
Evening Standard
Trainspotting is the best book ever written by man or woman... Deserves to sell more copies than the Bible
Rebel Inc
Irvine Welsh is more than happy to assault current shibboleths… unsparing… caustic stuff.. those who relish his unvarnished, in-your-face narratives will get more than their money’s worth
Financial Times
Resolution continues the industrially gritty travails of Ray Lennox… slowly developing into one of Welsh’s most enigmatic, enduring and intriguing characters
Scotland on Sunday
Welsh’s crime trilogy reaches a grisly conclusion in this revenge tragedy… [the] plot twists keep the pages turning
