A MACABRE, PITCH-BLACK, BLOODY MURDER COMEDY.
WITH FLESH-EATING WORMS.
“Lindsay has a real ear for dialogue and a highly visual imagination.” - SUNDAY MIRROR
Something is rotten in the town of Millport. Plans are being made, money is being thrown around, an empire is being built… and people are getting murdered. A man has a stiletto thrust into his eye socket, another his windpipe brutally squeezed shut, whilst a kidnapped youth lies curled in a cage, unaware of what it is that lives inside him.
Meanwhile, at the local barbershop, Barney Thomson lives a quiet life, cutting hair, wishing his customers would stop talking, and happy that he doesn’t seem to be involved in the latest calamity to be visited upon the town. Yet Barney is haunted, his life forever plagued by psychopaths and murderers, and soon enough he is being drawn into the very heart of the horror, as Millport is once again plunged into the nightmare world of the serial killer...
Warning: Contains 134 uses of the word 'fuck', 8 'cunts', 18 'bastards', and 7 'Trumps'.

Genre: Historical Mystery
