About this audiobook
Stolen whisky, drug dealers, bent cops, social influencers and yakuza mobsters. And Robbie Gould is caught in the middle.
1964. A hoard of the finest Scotch whisky ever made – the legendary Dalziel Double Proof – goes missing.
2023. Albie, youngest son of the wealthy Dalziel family, vanishes. His desperate mother turns to Robbie Gould, a disgraced reporter with a reputation as a 'psychic crimebuster'.
Broke and unemployed, Gould is in no position to turn down the job. He throws himself into a twisted chain of criminals, bent cops and Japanese gangsters, but when someone fires a shotgun through his door, he realises he doesn't need supernatural powers to see how deadly the situation has become.
Shortlisted for the Bloody Scotland Debut Prize!
'This is the kind of zany novel in which a dope-dealer’s dogs are not dobermans but miniature dachshunds, and a family of gangsters are called the Sangsters. Fans of graphic comedy ? as purveyed by Chris Brookmyre and Stuart MacBride ? will love it' -Times
'Relentless pace, katana-sharp humour and an endearingly irascible protagonist make Double Proof irresistibly entertaining' - Chris Brookmyre
'A slick slice of Tartan Noir. With indelible characters and a satisfying plot . . . the book is knitted together expertly with pathos and humour to offset the gritty action within the pages' - Stuart Johnstone
