First published 2015
Taxi driver Terry "Juice" Lawson careens through the depraved streets of Edinburgh, encountering a cast of colorful, degenerate characters. As Terry deals with the fallout from a personal tragedy, he must uncover the fate of a missing beauty, keep her simpleton lover out of prison, and navigate the schemes of a sleazy American businessman. Through it all, Terry's new obsession with golf may be the only thing that helps him find purpose beyond his former "decent ride." Buckle up for a riotous, foul-mouthed journey with one of Irvine Welsh's most beloved anti-heroes.
