    About this ebook

    A raw, gritty, sometimes funny, tale spanning twenty-four tragic hours in the lives of five people on the lower rung of the Scottish drugs scene. As the Garden City dresses itself up to greet the tourist invasion, life for some of the residents is about to become a more meaningful experience. Will Big Dougie survive? Will Wee Dougie and the lovely Shona? Assam is having a seriously bad hair day but the men in blue have it taped. Fortunes are just waiting to be made.

      Oct 16, 2023

      Miles the sheep farmer was coming to Lush Places to fix our leaking water troughs. He sent a text message to say he was here. I hopped over the stile, in my stylish, mud-smeared, sheepbitten paddock shorts and saw him at the far end of our pear orcha
