'If you've yet to discover the hardcore brilliance of Gus Drury, pour yourself a large one and start here' Daily Record
Ritual hanging ... a secret fraternity ... Gus Dury undercover and in the greatest danger of his life.
'You're a long time dead' is hard-drinking student 'Bender' Ben's favourite phrase - at least it is until he is found hanged on campus at Edinburgh University. Gus Dury is - to put it mildly - not in good shape after his last case. Best friend Hod is desperate to get him back on the straight and narrow, and persuades Gus, ill as he is, to investigate the student hanging.
It is the beginning of a nightmare ...
