Content of the new Irvine Welsh novel
Molly and George Warburton are used to living life their own way. She was an actress; he was her lawyer. Now, in the ferocious heat of Sin City, the couple are facing up to their failures and final years.
They announce that their grandson Luke – college dropout, aspiring writer, electronic dance music aficionado – will inherit their millions. It is sudden news that leaves their daughter Gina hell-bent on revenge.
Yet Luke’s good fortune, and his freedom, will not last. When a strange newcomer to the neighbourhood insinuates himself into the Warburtons’ world, it is the beginning of a chain of chilling events that could split the family permanently and put all their lives at risk.
The question is, do they have what it takes to survive?
