Rewire - Softcover
Josh Strachan has his own electrical business, a beautiful girlfriend, and a monopoly on the electrical work in the sleepy Scottish village of Glen Leven—until London electricians arrive to do a rewire on the psychiatric hospital. And one by one Josh starts to lose his business, his girlfriend, his friends, and his mind. By wreaking revenge on the English outsiders, he ends up digging a hole for himself that even he can't get out of.

Review:
'Convincing...hard-hitting stuff...highly effective' -- Time Out on LOLLIPOP 'LOLLIPOP continues Irvine Welsh's literary tradition' -- Mirror on LOLLIPOP 'A fine debut by Pye and a powerful wake-up call delivered with wit and passion' -- Glasgow Herald on LOLLIPOP 'Smart...a grimace of realism, salting the fact of routine violence and dysfunctional families with hard-won tender moments' -- The Times on LOLLIPOP 'Rewire is a cynical, hard-hitting read ... one for people who like their fiction tough.' -- The Guardian 'Skilful and moving!shot through with a rich theme of black humour!Compelling' -- Aberdeen Press and Journal on LOLLIPOP
