The most hapless barber in Scotland is back behind the chair, handing out the finest haircuts ever seen in the western hemisphere, in the follow-up to 'The Cutting Edge of Barney Thomson'. Having tried to hand himself in to the police, and been rejected as just another Barney Thomson amongst many thousands, Barney returns to what he does best. However, in trying to come to terms with his murder-ridden past, he foolishly joins the nearest branch of Murderers Anonymous, bringing him once more into contact with the deranged, the criminally insane and the out and out sadistically naughty. In minutes there is a killer reducing the population of Glasgow on a daily basis, and Barney is soon caught up in this tangled web of death, butchery and Elvis.

This book is also available in THE BARBERSHOP SEVEN - the collected Barney Thomson novels. Searching for answers to his tortured, murder-filled existence, Barney Thomson is drawn to take a job in London, as personal barber to Thomas Bethlehem, the head of an upcoming and trendy marketing agency. Such is Barney's fate that, just as he arrives in the capital, a serial killer begins to run amok among the young, go-getting executives of Bethlehem's company. Suddenly, but entirely predictably, Barney once again finds himself in the middle of a multiple murder investigation. As Satan returns to haunt Barney and to steer him down his final, inevitable path, could it be that Bethlehem's latest client -- a wise-cracking New Englander with an easy smile and a handy ability with a thunderbolt -- is the man to provide the deliverance that has eluded Barney Thomson for so long? THE FINAL CUT is book 7 in the Barney Thomson series.

***This book is also available in THE BARBERSHOP SEVEN - the collected Barney Thomson novels*** As Barney Thomson is closing up his barbershop for the night, an old man enters looking for a Cary Grant cut and a bit of a chat. The following day, Barney discovers that last night's customer appears to have been the captain of a fishing trawler found mysteriously abandoned on the Clyde over a hundred years ago. In a sinister echo of the past, a trawler is discovered drifting in a flat calm just off the island of Cumbrae, where Barney lives and works. Of the three trawlermen known to have been on board the Bitter Wind, one is found dead on the vessel. The other two are missing. As the ghosts mount up for Barney, could it just be that he is in an episode of Scooby Doo, featuring a lot of villains in masks? Or is it a real, dark and menacing evil which haunts his sleepy seaside town? THE HAUNTING OF BARNEY THOMSON is book 6 in the Barney Thomson series.

***This book is also available in THE BARBERSHOP SEVEN - the collected Barney Thomson novels*** At the end of MURDERERS ANONYMOUS, Barney Thomson's future seemed bleak. In fact, it seemed non-existent. However, for a reason that he can't quite get to the bottom of, he finds that he has a whole new lease of life as personal barber to the First Minister of the Scottish Executive. Unexpectedly thrown into the world of political intrigue and scandal, Barney's life is at least given some consistency when a serial killer begins to pick off members of the cabinet in a series of brutal (but very popular) murders.

DI WESTPHALL. No ordinary detective. No ordinary investigations. A twisting new crime series set in the Scottish Highlands. For fans of James Oswald and John Connolly. 'Douglas Lindsay is an underrated writer with an eccentric, blisteringly satirical voice . . . enjoyably bizarre. I loved it' Sunday Express When businessman Thomas Peterson is killed outside a football ground in the Highlands, there are several witnesses. Yet the hunt for the killer is proving as futile as the search for a motive. Possible connections to Russian money and an eerie retirement home are soon thrown into the mix. To further complicate things, DI Westphall's MI6 past is coming back to haunt him. Guilt stalks his dreams, but could there be a message in these nightmares? Westphall is in danger of losing his head just when he needs it the most. He must find answers, and fast, before the murderer strikes again. Praise for the DI Westphall series 'Richly atmospheric . . . Lindsay solidifies his place as one of the rising stars of tartan noir' Publishers Weekly 'The Boy in the Well is a dark and satisfying mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the company of DI Ben Westphall, a compelling personality . . . This one comes thoroughly recommended' James Oswald A darkly atmospheric thriller with a labyrinthine plot with more twists than a Grand Prix track. (Michael Wood, author of the DCI Matilda Darke series) A really addictive plot, and so atmospheric. Clever and unexpected (S D Sykes, author of the Oswald de Lacy series) 'A Tartan Noir tour de force. Lindsay writes with an economy and skill all too rare in modern fiction . . . Brilliant' Tony Black, author of the DI Bob Valentine series

Yet the corpse is only days old . . . No one comes forward to identify #Boy9, and DI Ben Westphall's only suspects are the farmers on whose land the well sits.

Soon, similarities from an old crime emerge and Westphall must look to the past to piece together the dark and twisted events taking place in the present. ******** WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT BOY IN THE WELL 'Intricately and expertly plotted . . .

***This book is also available in THE BARBERSHOP SEVEN - the collected Barney Thomson novels*** Barney Thomson is a restless soul in search of a quiet town in which to settle. He thinks he might just have found it in Millport on the Isle of Cumbrae and life can at last bring him some peace. Or, at least, it might have done, but for the dead body at the bottom of the stairs, the ghost tormented for all time to go to the bathroom, the evil Chinese businessman, the disturbing package in the freezer, the mysterious cathedral, Barney's deaf, mute, hunchbacked assistant, the ancient society protecting a 2,000-year-old secret, the Vatican spies, the intended murder, the curious collective of ninety-year-old men looking for Robbie Williams' haircuts, the promiscuous vicar named Judas, the rookie exorcist, the volatile cheese sandwich, and the very outside possibility of Armageddon. And, at the end it all, twelve men will meet around a table and the very future of humanity will be decided. Either that, or they will go home for a cup of tea and a plate of chips.
