About the book: 2019 / Can a person change completely? The most obsessed Edinburgh guy we've known for a long time has seemingly settled down: he now lives in California with his beautiful wife and two little daughters, has become a successful sculptor, and his work is in great demand. But then a message comes from Edinburgh that his eldest son has been killed, and Begbie flies out to the funeral. He didn’t want to act as a detective or an avenger, he didn’t want to return to the past - but how deep did he drive the past aggression inside and could he control it?. For the first time in Russian - a recent novel by “the undisputed leader in the new wave of modern British literature” (Observer), which “consistently proves that literature is the best drug” (Spin). The book contains obscene language!
