The Quarry - The Sunday Times Bestseller

''A quietly incendiary piece of writing, at times heartbreaking, at other times really wonderfully funny... a profoundly humane, funny and smart novel'' Independent

A dying man and his only son.
Six old friends.
A missing videotape.
And a reunion in a crumbling house on the edge of The Quarry.

''His verve and talent will always be recognised, and his work will always find and enthral new readers'' Ken MacLeod, Guardian
