The Last Weekend

In a country where the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, opportunities for cruelty and exploitation are rife. Life may be cheap, but some will pay handsomely for the chance to take it.

Jed Pike – known as ‘Glasgow’, as that was the city where he made his first kill – offers the ultimate hunting experience to those who can afford it. He has made a great success of his evil enterprise, set in the desolate wilds of the Scottish Highlands. Then, a chance discovery sets his feet on a far darker – but even more lucrative – path.

‘The Last Weekend’ is a dark thriller that looks at issues of life and death, value versus worth, courage, cowardice, friendship, honour, and both the inevitable failings and incredible strength of ordinary people.

Reader warning: one of the themes of ‘The Last Weekend’ is suicide. There is no intention to in any way belittle the seriousness of this. If you are having suicidal thoughts, please talk to someone. It can be the hardest thing to do, but it’s the most important.
