Irvine Welsh on The Long Knives

Duration: 60 minutes

No one writes a crime novel quite like Irvine Welsh, and no one solves a mystery like Detective Ray Lennox. The latest instalment in one of the darkest, most original detective series ever written, The Long Knives revels in Welsh’s punkish penchant for blending satirical social commentary with body horror, a psychedelic odyssey into the bowels of Edinburgh’s criminal underworld.
