You might like Irvine Welsh. He is the author of Trainspotting, as well as The Acid House and other novels.
If you liked the Trainspotting movie, then the book is a little more gritty and messed up, but ultimately just as enjoyable. Although, avoid the sequel, Porno, as that one is not too good.
This one sounds like a return to form, so I’ll be picking it up soon!

Finished reading this, after I had read Filth. Although it isn’t needed to enjoy Crime, reading Filth gives you a brief insight into the main character of Crime.
I enjoyed Crime. It was entertaining but to me it was lite-Welsh – his normal “messed-up”-ness was largely missing and in the end it only felt slightly like his previous novels. Still – that isn’t a bad thing, its a perfectly interesting crime novel.
