This story of two men locked in a war of wills that threatens their
very existence is vintage Irvine Welsh. Troubled restaurant
inspector Danny Skinner is on a quest to find the mysterious father
his mother will not identify. Unraveling this hidden information is
the key to understanding the crippling compulsions that threaten to
wreck his young life. His ensuing journey takes him from the
festival city of Edinburgh to the foodie city of San Francisco. But
the hard-drinking, womanizing Skinner has a strange nemesis in the
form of mild-mannered fellow inspector Brian Kibby. It is Skinner's
unfathomable, obsessive hatred of Kibby that takes over everything,
threatening to destroy not only Skinner and his mission but also
those he loves most dearly. When Kibby contracts a horrific,
undiagnosable illness, Skinner understands that his destiny is
inextricably bound to that of his hated rival, and he is faced with
a terrible dilemma. Irvine Welsh's work is a transgressive parable
about the great obsessions of our time: food, sex, and celebrity.
