A raw, violent and very, very funny gangster novel from the creator of Rab C Nesbitt.

'My stab at the big time had gone . . . I couldn't even look at a hammer without a lump springing to my throat . . .'

Albert Blaney, aka The Surgeon, is Scotland's most notorious gangster, boasting a treacherous past and considering a dubious future. Having spilled his life story onto the pages of a bestselling memoir, Albert must now live in tense anticipation as he waits for his revengeful enemies to hunt him down. But after a lifetime of irrational activity, he can't be certain who he has angered and who to look out for.

As his journey sparks off a host of extraordinary memories, Albert recalls how the innocent boy became the hardened criminal, how his parents' fragile relationship fuelled those first dangerous acts of indifference and how, through what he views as his one true talent, he became deeply and irrevocably involved with Glasgow's sinister underworld.

Now Albert must return to Glasgow for the funeral of his mother, unsure as to how violent will be his homecoming "welcome" . . .

'Sweet And Tender Hooligan' is a hilarious and moving account of a young hooligan's progress through the ranks of his violent realm. Ultimately it is the story of the aftermath, when it must, inevitably, all come crashing down . . .
