In Scotland, a self-appointed executioner dispenses justice to fit the crime. Thus the lenient judge who let a rapist go is punished by being raped, while a man who killed is killed in turn.

re-read after 20yrs, still good but now a timecapsule as well as a crime story

Aucune note

Re-read it after finding a $1 copy in a market, first read it twenty years ago when borrowed from a friend. Not quite as gripping second time around, very much of its time and place, the drugs, the music, the landscape and the politics of the UK in the early '90s. I think I had an inkling of whodunnit far earlier during my first reading than on my second, memory failed in the intervening years!
