Praise for Gutted

Only two books in and Tony Black is already one of my favourite living crime writers. Gutted is simply superb

Nick Stone, author of Mr Clarinet

Tony Black is the latest of the seemingly unending stream of good Scottish crime writers who have in common the ability to portray vividly the underbelly of Scottish inner-city criminality ... The dialogue fizzes and the whole is suffused with black humour. Celtic Noir is in rude health

Marcel Berlins, The Times

Sitting somewhere between the raw grit of Welsh and the genius of Rankin, Gutted deserves to be the thriller hit of the summer

Scottish Daily Record

As washed-up private detectives go, Gus Dury is compelling - he's as hard as any criminal, as twice as self-destructive.

William Leith, Evening Standard

Absolutely gripping - a labyrinth of violence, secrets and emotion. This is a true rollercoaster of a read.
