"A Decent Ride" sees Irvine Welsh back on home turf, bringing us the outrageous adventures of 'Juice' Terry Lawson, a character who is as shameless as he is oddly decent. This rampaging force of nature wreaks havoc on the streets of Edinburgh as a top shagger, drug-dealer, gonzo-porn-star, and taxi driver.

Can Terry discover the fate of the missing beauty, Jinty Magdalen, and keep her idiot-savant lover, the man-child Wee Jonty, out of prison? Will he uncover the true motives of unscrupulous American businessman and reality-TV star, Ronald Checker? And, crucially, will Terry be able to navigate life after a terrible event robs him of his sexual virility? Perhaps a newfound fascination with the game of golf might offer solace.

In his funniest, filthiest book yet, Irvine Welsh celebrates an un-reconstructed misogynist hustler, finding new ways to craft wild comedy from fantastically dark material. So fasten your seatbelts, because this is one ride that could certainly get a little bumpy!
