With the Christmas season upon him, Detective Sergeant Bruce Robertson of Edinburghs finest is gearing up sociallykicking things off with a week of sex and drugs in Amsterdam., There are some sizable flies in the ointment, though: a missing wife and child, a nagging cocaine habit, some painful below-the-belt eczema, and a string of demanding extramarital affairs. The last thing Robertson needs is a messy, racially fraught murder, even if it means overtimeand the opportunity to clinch the promotion he craves. Then theres that nutritionally demanding (and psychologically acute) intestinal parasite in his gut. Yes, things are going badly for this utterly corrupt tribune of the law, but in an Irvine Welsh novel nothing is ever so bad that it cant get a whole lot worse. . .
