Meantime

In his gripping debut crime novel Meantime, Frankie Boyle immerses readers in a darkly entertaining Glasgow noir set in 2015. The story follows Felix McAveety, a Valium addict, whose search for answers after his best friend Marina is found murdered leads him on a bewildering journey through Scottish radical politics, artificial intelligence, and the eclectic underbelly of the city. With a unique cast of characters, including a brilliant GP and a semi-celebrity crime novelist, this picaresque detective tale explores themes of murder, revenge, and personal loss against the vibrant backdrop of post-referendum Scotland.
