Description:
Glasgow, 1976. Jake McGinty and his gang are running around town, drinking, fighting and getting involved in all sorts of minor criminal activity. Then a scam goes wrong and dead bodies start to pile up. The police are quick to try to pin it on Jake - but are the real suspects closer to home? From the Back Cover: 'Hugh Collins creates entertaingly devious characters and then mercilessly dispatches them, leaving the reader to mourn them as long as it takes for the next vicarious thrill to come along. No Smoke is a Glaswegian Goodfellas, with its vertiginous buzz accentuated by a steadfastly unjudgemental narrative voice.' Christopher Brookmyre. In his autobiographical work Hugh Collins demonstrated a rare flair for dialogue and vernacular. And this novel brims with Glasgow patter that is utterly authentic - hilarious and dangerous.
