Resolution

From #1 Sunday Times bestseller Irvine Welsh, the brand new novel in the CRIME series featuring former detective Ray Lennox

\\”The truth is what we say the truth is . . .\\”

Ray Lennox is determined to move on from his darkest days. The maverick former detective has left Edinburgh for a new career and a new relationship 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?

Review: Crime is by some distance Welsh’s most restrained and thoughtful work * 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 *
