Críticas
Think Kelman in a Crombie with a chib and a chuckle. Brand new, so it is. -- Ron McKay * * Sunday Herald * * Hugh Collins creates entertainingly devious characters and then mercilessly dispatches them, leaving the reader to mourn them only as long as it takes for the next vicarious thrill to come along. No Smoke is a Glaswegian Goodfellas with its vertiginous buzz accentuated by a steadfastly unjudgemental narrative voice. -- Christpher Brookmyre, on No Smoke Dark yet funny, uncompromising and compelling. No Smoke stands comparison with Chester Himes at his best. -- Quintin Jardine, on No Smoke
Reseña del editor
Set in the early Eighties against the backdrop of Thatcherite rule and the violent clashes between police and miners, The Licensee dives back into the Glasgow underworld as a new era is ushered in. Heroin is rife. Dealers are getting rich in a hurry and some law-enforcement officers are tempted by easy cash to turn a blind eye. Johnny McGinty, the tough but likeable small-time crook in No Smoke, has graduated to the big time and is now the heavy man for nouveau-riche drug lord Pat McGowan. Competition between rival drug dealers is fierce and McGowan thinks nothing of torching a family home, occupants included, in order to frame his opposition and gain a monopoly of the market. This is a new and volatile breed of gangster. Honour amongst thieves has given way to brutality, greed and the supergrass. In a novel that bristles with dark humour and darker deeds, Collins's ear for street dialogue never falters. The Licensee establishes Collins at the forefront of British crime writing.
