John Niven recommends
You Are Here (2024)
David Nicholls
"David is the laureate of the modern love novel, and this is his best yet."
The Ruins (2020)
Mat Osman
"Fantastic debut novel. Magical, surreal, disturbing. Reminded me in places of early Iain Banks and DBC Pierre."
Bloody January (2017)
(Harry McCoy, book 1)
Alan Parks
"A brilliant debut. Taut, violent and as close you'll get to 1970s Glasgow without a tardis."
