When people in Edinburgh need to borrow money, they go to Cooper. When they don't pay it back, they get a visit from Joe Hope. But now, Joe's got troubles of his own. His teenage daughter's been found dead, an apparent suicide. Then the police arrest him for murder. But, for once, Joe is innocent. With help from Scotland's hardest men - and one woman - he sets out to discover who has framed him and to deliver his own brutal brand of justice.

Reviews

"Guthrie writes with an urgency, energy, cynical realism and mastery of casual violence that is rarely encountered in British crime writing." Marcel Berlins, The Times
"Kiss Her Goodbye is tough-as-nails, Scots noir. Deftly characterised, with witty dialogue and a mean plot, Guthrie’s excellent second novel is lean, keen and pure hardboiled heaven. It’s rare that a British writer comes along who just pulls you into his world so easily. But Guthrie leads you willingly with a tough, no-nonsense style and the kind of easy-going storytelling ability missing from so many new writers trying their damndest to break the marketplace today. Seek it out, buy it..." Russel D McLean, Crime Scene Scotland
