When the gangland owner of a pit bull that killed a three-year-old girl is found gutted on an Edinburgh hill Gus Dury is asked to investigate, and soon finds himself up to his neck in the warring underworld of the city’s sink estates.

About The Author | Tony Black is an award-winning journalist who has written for most of the national newspapers. He is the author of Paying For It. He lives in Edinburgh |
Review Quote | Only two books in and Tony Black is already one of my favourite living crime writers. Gutted is simply superb |
Other text | Tony Black is the latest of the seemingly unending stream of good Scottish crime writers who have in common the ability to portray vividly the underbelly of Scottish inner-city criminality … The dialogue fizzes and the whole is suffused with black humour. Celtic Noir is in rude health |
