Ingenious, daring and brilliant Guardian

Complicity (n.) 1. The fact of being an accomplice, esp. in a criminal act.

A few spliffs, a spot of mild S&M, phone through the copy for tomorrow's front page, catch up with the latest from your mystery source - could be big, could be very big - in fact, just a regular day at the office for free-wheeling, substance-abusing Cameron Colley, a fully paid-up Gonzo hack on an Edinburgh newspaper.

Prentice McHoan has returned to the bosom of his complex but enduring Scottish family. Full of questions about the McHoan past, present, and future, he is also deeply preoccupied: mainly with death, sex, drink, God, and illegal substances...
