Complicity

Deliciously dark and sinister with a steady beat of irony and anger at modern humanity
If I had my old reviewing energy and time, I would do this one more justice. Suffice to say that it's a very clever and cynical picture of a drug-snorting hack journalist and hyper-efficient and sadistic serial killer and how their lives are intertwined. The structure of the book is non-linear and told in parallel stories just like Use of Weapons, and done very well indeed. Set in Edinburgh in the Thatcher and Tony Blair years, it's done very well indeed. You will be entertained, horrified, and forced to think about morality and capitalism and sex/violence and revenge and most of all...complicity.
