Few cities can rival Glasgow for their contribution to the history of British humour. From the gladiatorial atmosphere of the old Empire Theatre, dubbed the 'graveyard of English comics', to the front-page controversies of Frankie Boyle today, the city and its citizens have trademarked their own two-fisted brand of confrontational, but always hilarious, comedy. In this, the first dedicated overview, Allan Brown gives a historical,kaleidoscopic and encyclopedic account of the people, places, performers and procedures that have made Glasgow a by-word for a certain kind of rough, tough quick-wittedness. Every facet of Glaswegian life is considered, viewed through the prism of the city's sense of humour; from the showbiz renown of Billy Connolly and Chic Murray, Kevin Bridges and Boyle, to the occasions the lighter side was seen in Glasgow's history of television, film, literature, football,law, science, academe, crime and art. Through profiles, criticism, tales and anecdotes, The Glasgow Smile - fittingly also the term for infamousGlasgow gang punishment - is a treasury of the city's past and present, and of its own very particular approach to the absurd.

Greg Matthews has been condemned to an eternity of pain and suffering in the depths of a terrible hell. Forced into constant, meaningless, and brutal labor. Things take a turn for the even more unusual and cruel as, Jasper, the whimsical psychopath that lords himself over the community of damned souls, eyes Greg for a special project. Each year, a tournament of death is held, with the workers as competitors, that allows the winner to leave and return to the life they lived. Jasper wants Greg to fight for him. Make him do terrible things he never thought he was capable of. In return, Jasper would allow not only Greg himself, but his entire group of friends to leave should he win. But if he fails, he and all those he holds dear will live a much deeper definition of pain than thought possible. With more than just his own eternal soul hanging in the balance, Greg must step up and find it in himself to be at least a fraction of the madman that the one now pulling his puppet strings is, or lose it all trying.

Detective David Alix faces once again a serial killer, as bodies turn up in bags. Each corpse wears what's known as the "Glasgow smile", a freakish ear-to-ear grimace resulting from small cuts made at the corner of the mouth before the victim was tortured. One after one, the bodies are found. Tortured, killed... and then something strange. Weird items are found on the bodies: An iron crown, spiked upon a skull. A piece of chalk where the heart was supposed to be. Alix can't decipher the meaning of these symbolic objects. He puts them on his whiteboard to study them further. What do they mean? As more bodies show up, the number of symbols grows. Then suddenly, a breakthrough. And a long list of future victims. Can Alix and his team figure out the hidden meaning of the symbols, and find the killer, before he brutally exterminates every person on his list? Get "Smile of Death" to find out today.

A married couple goes missing in 1995. After seven years they are presumed dead. It is 2018. Belay, a tormented worldly-wise employer of judges, apprises the Special Adjudicator, Ewald Wren, a black-letter law judge, that his short-term ruthless brand of justice is culpable. Wren impugns Belays competence. Belay retires Ewald and resolves to put him firmly in his place. Chase, an inimical and crime-writing uncle cuts in after the farewell bash. He believes Wren is the most likely culprit. He coerces Wren to survey all the locations and, mechanised by covert listening devices, to investigate all of those who may have been implicated. Otherwise, he will be ruined, imprisoned, or killed, or worse still his family will be forfeited. Left with no choice Wren accedes. Wren processes the evidence. He suspects further murders and ancillary attempts on lives. Glasson Dorcha, the most ruthless gangster in Glasgow seeks to avenge Wren for his jejune imprisonment and the murder of his grandfather by mutilating him. Wren learns life. Belay learns than extreme pain is plural. Wren and Chase are finally revealed as in-laws. Who will win? Will Belay, Wren, Chase, Glasson, the murderer or one of the suspects win?
