Wednesday 2 March 
7pm (GMT), online

SIGN UP HERE

Twenty years after her cult hit The Cutting Room, Louise Welsh picks up the story for one of the most anticipated Scottish novels of the year.

Rilke has been trying to stay out of trouble at Bowery Auctions, keeping his head down, just the right side of respectable. But when his old friend Jojo washes up dead and the police are reluctant to investigate, he can keep quiet no longer.

Thrilling and atmospheric, with its deliciously ambivalent hero The Second Cut delves into the dark side of twenty-first century Glasgow.

This event will also be livestreamed from the venue in Wigtown.
