{"product_id":"filth-p-b-z44","title":"Filth [1999] paperback","description":"With the festive season almost upon him, Detective Sergeant Bruce Robertson is winding down at work and gearing up socially - kicking off Christmas with a week of sex and drugs in Amsterdam. There are irritating flies in the ointment, though, including a missing wife, a nagging cocaine habit, a dramatic deterioration in his genital health, a string of increasingly demanding extra-marital affairs. The last thing he needs is a messy murder to solve. Still it will mean plenty of overtime, a chance to stitch up some colleagues and finally clinch the promotion he craves. But as Bruce spirals through the lower reaches of degradation and evil, he encounters opposition - in the form of truth and ethical conscience - from the most unexpected quarter of all: his anus. In Bruce Robertson, Welsh has created one of the most corrupt, misanthropic characters in contemporary fiction , and has written a dark, disturbing and very funny novel about sleaze, power, and the abuse of everything. At last, a novel that lives up to its name.","brand":"Welsh, Irvine","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44211367805218,"sku":"9780099591115","price":10.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":48875572166995,"sku":"XG80099591115","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":48058621034835,"sku":"XV80099591115","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/welsh-irvine-filth-1999-paperback-58225244504403.jpg?v=1727389930","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/filth-p-b-z44","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
