The #1 Sunday Times bestseller is back with a powerful, thrilling new CRIME novel.

A SHOCKING CRIME. A MAVERICK DETECTIVE.
A FINAL CHANCE TO EXPOSE THE TRUTH.

Ray Lennox is determined to escape his darkest days. The former inspector has left Edinburgh for a fresh start in Brighton. Soon, his fixations and addictions have been replaced with quiet evenings and a rigorous fitness regime.

Then Lennox meets Mathew Cardingworth, a rich and smooth-talking property developer. Their encounter reawakens memories that have haunted Lennox for decades.

Lennox has no choice - he must confront the events of his childhood. But as he is pulled into a world of violence and murder, he finds himself asking: what will he sacrifice to achieve resolution at last?

Trainspotting is the best book ever written by man or woman... Deserves to sell more copies than the Bible * Rebel Inc *
Irvine Welsh is more than happy to assault current shibboleths... unsparing... caustic stuff.. those who relish his unvarnished, in-your-face narratives will get more than their money's worth * Financial Times *
Resolution continues the industrially gritty travails of Ray Lennox... slowly developing into one of Welsh's most enigmatic, enduring and intriguing characters * Scotland on Sunday *

There's no denying...[Welsh's] ability to plum the more toxic reaches of masculinity and the nightmares they conceal * The Times *
