Bone yard

BONE YARD
by Paul Johnston
It is 2020, the Edinburgh is the perfect city, an oppressive, crime free, independent city state. Previously presided over by the council of city guardians, there is now a new wave of ultra keen young guardians in charge, known as the iron boy scouts, who have tightened things up even more, leading to an under current of tension so electric, you can almost taste the ozone. The one activity they have yet to clamp down on entirely is the annual celebration of Hogmanay, and on new year's eve 2021, the Edinburgh tradition of getting absolutely slaughtered takes on a literal meaning for one poor soul.
The subversive PI Quintilian Dalrymple and side kick Davie are given the case, as the victim's nearest and dearest do not wants the guardians involved.
Dripping with satire and wit, this is a gruesome, powerful, fast paced thriller.
