Reviews

'McSorley consolidates his status among crime fictions rising stars. Paperboy is energetic, inventive and witty, laying on the tension as it builds to a nerve-shredding finale' - Chris Brookmyre 'Just when youre thinking Squeaky Clean is probably the perfect crime novel, along comes Paperboy. The biggest laughs, the seediest urban underbelly, the most irreparably flawed yet inexorably engaging cast' - Sofia Slater, author of The Serpent Dance 'Absolutely loved Paperboy, as dark as a dungeon at midnight but a lot more fun. Sparkling dialogue, startling violence and some truly terrifying villains. And as for Ally McCoist, what can I say? She shoots, she scores!' - Trevor Wood, author of 'The Man on the Street' 'Magnificent metaphors; dialogue that skips across the page; McCoist with her smart mouth and predilection of getting smashed around the face-theres nothing I didnt love about this brilliant book. The most fun you can have with an industrial paper shredder' - Sam Holland, author of 'Puppet Master' 'Callum McSorley has done it again! Paperboy is a wickedly funny return to Glasgows underbelly, where the citys renowned wit nestles alongside brutal violence. The beleaguered DCI Alison McCoist is again the perfect protagonist and McSorley is a master of the hapless character drawn into criminal chaos... I cant wait for the next instalment. Cracking!' - Heather Critchlow, author of 'Unsolved'

Author Information

Squeaky Clean was his debut novel, inspired by his years working at a car wash in Glasgow's East End. With it, Callum won the prestigious McIlvanney Prize for best Scottish crime novel of the year. Paperboy is the second Ally McCoist thriller. It follows the reputationally-challenged detective as she investigates a murder linked to a confidential paper-shredding business and stumbles across evidence of police corruption ‒ the sort of evidence that could get her killed if she doesn't handle it carefully...
