Summary
First story in a collection of interlinked tales of crime and retribution laced with dark humour, set around the festive season
Billy Partridge wasn’t really cut out to be a cat burglar, but it was ‘do the job, or come up with thirteen grand by Thursday, or have both legs shattered’.

Critic reviews
Praise for Stuart MacBride:
‘Fierce, unflinching and shot through with the blackest of humour; this is crime fiction of the highest order’
Mark Billingham
‘Some of the grittiest crime-writing in the field’
Independent
‘Admirers of tough, modern crime novels will be in seventh heaven – or should that be hell?’
Express
‘Ferocious and funny, this is Tartan Noir at its best’
Val McDermid
‘Hard-hitting prose with a bone-dry humour and characters you can genuinely believe in, Stuart MacBride’s novels are a real treat’
Simon Kernick
