The Cutting Room

When Rilke, a dissolute auctioneer, comes upon a hidden collection of violent and highly disturbing photographs, he feels compelled to discover more about the deceased owner who coveted them. Soon he finds himself sucked into an underworld of crime, depravity and secret desire, fighting for his life.

Reviews of The Cutting Room

'I was hooked from page one. Rilke is not Welsh's only great creation. The huge supporting cast of misfits and outsiders … are equally memorable. And Glasgow becomes a character in itself: it is oppressive, foreboding – a dark place for a dark tale.' The Guardian
