Quite Ugly One Morning (Paperback, New edition)

Yeah, yeah, the usual. A crime. A corpse. A killer. Heard it. Except this stiff happens to be a Ponsonby, scion of a venerable Edinburgh medical clan, and the manner of his death speaks of unspeakable things. Why is the body displayed like a slice of beef? How come his hands are digitally challenged? And if it's not the corpse, what is that awful smell?

A post-Thatcherite nightmare of frightening plausibility, QUITE UGLY ONE MORNING is a wickedly entertaining and vivacious thriller, full of acerbic wit, cracking dialogue and villains both reputed and shell-suited.

'Very violent, very funny. A comedy with political edge, which you take gleefully in one gulp' LITERARY REVIEW

'The dialogue is a joy throughout and the plot crackles along with confident gusto and intelligence…an assured debut by a talented writer' THE TIMES
