Meantime

*THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*

*Shortlisted for the Bloody Scotland Debut Crime Novel of the Year*

How do you solve a murder when you don''t have a clue? Frankie Boyle''s gripping crime debut novel, Meantime, is a hallucinogenic ride through Glasgow as one man seeks justice for his friend''s murder.

Glasgow, 2015. When Valium addict Felix McAveety''s best friend Marina is found murdered in the local park, he goes looking for answers to questions that he quickly forgets. In a haze of uppers, hallucinogens, and diazepam, Felix enlists the help of a brilliant but mercurial GP; a bright young trade unionist; a failing screenwriter; semi-celebrity crime novelist Jane Pickford; and his crisis fuelled downstairs neighbour Donnie.

Their investigation sends them on a bewildering expedition that takes in Scottish radical politics, Artificial Intelligence, cults, secret agents, smugglers and vegan record shops
