Publisher's Synopsis

Meet Connor, gobby singer of The Ossians, a band on the grass verge of the big time, embarking on a make or break tour of the Highlands. Connor thinks he's on a stairway to . . . not exactly heaven, but, if he's lucky, away from his own personal hell. Unfortunately Connor can't outrun his demons that easily, as angry drug dealers, a stalker, the police, a pathological devotion to booze and pills, and his big stupid mouth all drag him deeper into his own inescapable nightmare. He's in hell, but don't they say the devil's got all the best tunes?

About the Publisher

Penguin Books

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
