Complicity
Twenty-fifth anniversary edition of a modern classic: 'ingenious, daring and brilliant' - Guardian
Ingenious, daring and brilliant Guardian
Complicity (n.) 1. The fact of being an accomplice, esp. in a criminal act.

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...
