The Holy Father

'A masterpiece. It's like Jim Thompson and Irvine Welsh got together to write a Tony Black story' BARRY GRAHAM

When young Scots carpenter Joe is visited by the 'Wing Wizard' Davie Cooper one Christmas Eve he gets the shock of his life-his partner is to give birth to a king that very night. Setting off through their scheme-guided only by an unusual, yet familiar, constellation-Joe and Mary-doll soon discover their shared passion for the opposing ends of the Scottish football terraces unites them in ways they could never have imagined. The Holy Father is a novelette delving into the divisive nature of Scottish football, told in the raw Scots tongue, and delivered in a familiar festive setting.
