Description:	Select Guide Rating Iain Banks at his very best - his funniest, grittiest and most exciting novel yet. ''Utterly absorbing... addictive, funny and brilliantly observed'' Daily Mail Stewart Gilmour is back in Stonemouth, the estuary town north of Aberdeen that on a bleak day can seem to offer little more than sea-fog, gangsters, cheap drugs and a suspension bridge irresistible to suicides. After a five-year exile, Stewart''s presence is required at the funeral of patriarch Joe Murston, even though the last time Stu saw the Murstons he was running for his life. But Stonemouth is also home to the girl who still haunts his dreams.... Praise for Iain Banks: ''The most imaginative novelist of his generation'' The Times ''His verve and talent will always be recognised, and his work will always find and enthral new readers'' Ken MacLeod, Guardian ''His work was mordant, surreal, and fiercely intelligent'' Neil Gaiman ''An exceptional wordsmith'' Scotsman
