The Long Midnight of Barney Thomson by Douglas Lindsay
Douglas Lindsay's classic comic crime thriller is free on Kindle over 5th and 6th May
Amazon US | Amazon UK "This chilling black comedy unfolds at dizzying speed...an impressive debut novel." Sunday Mirror "Gleefully macabre, hugely enjoyable black burlesque." The Scotsman "The plot is a modern spin on Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment. The bloody ending is pure Reservoir Dogs." The Mirror "Pitch-black comedy spun from the finest writing. Fantastic plot, unforgettable scenes and plenty of twisted belly laughs." New Woman Barney Thomson — awkward, diffident, Glasgow barber — lives a life of desperate mediocrity. Shunned at work and at home, unable to break out of a twenty-year rut, each dull day blends seamlessly into the next. However, there is no life so tedious that it cannot be spiced up by inadvertent murder, a deranged psychopath, and a freezer full of neatly packaged meat. Barney Thomson's uninteresting life is about to go from 0 to 60 in five seconds, as he enters the grotesque and comically absurd world of the serial killer… About the author: Douglas Lindsay is the author of the Barney Thomson crime series, which begins with THE LONG MIDNIGHT OF BARNEY THOMSON, and is currently seven novels and a novella (THE END OF DAYS) strong. His most recent novel is the police thriller THE UNBURIED DEAD. Allan Guthrie Co-founder, Blasted Heath, publisher of the Barney Thomson series |
