Publisher's summary

Complicity n. 1. the fact of being an accomplice, esp. in a criminal act.

A few spliffs, a spot of mild S&M, phone through the copy of tomorrow's front page, catch up with the latest from your mystery source - could be big, could be very big - in fact, just a regular day at the office for free-wheeling, substance-abusing Cameron Colley, a fully paid-up Gonzo hack on an Edinburgh newspaper. The source is pretty thin, but Cameron senses a scoop and checks out a series of bizarre deaths from a few years ago - only to find that the police are checking out a series of bizarre deaths that are happening right now. And Cameron just might know more about it than he'd care to admit.…

Slow DOWN!

What did you like best about Complicity? What did you like least?

I'm only halfway though it but the plot is good and I like Iain Banks' novels.

Would you recommend Complicity to your friends? Why or why not?

Yes, but only if you can cope with someone who's reading as if they're racing to the finish line.

What didn’t you like about Peter Kenny’s performance?

He reads too fast and in a rather jaunty tone of voice that doesn't really suit the story. I thought my music player was on double speed.
