Louise Welsh - In Conversation

Louise Welsh is an award-winning author of eight novels. The Cutting Room, her debut novel, won the Crime Writers' Association John Creasey Dagger and the Saltire First Book of The Year Award. In 2018, she was awarded the Most Inspiring Saltire First Book Award winner by public vote. She is Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Glasgow.

The Second Cut is her compelling follow up to the cult classic debut, The Cutting Room.

Thrilling and atmospheric, the novel delves into the dark side of twenty-first century Glasgow. Twenty years on from his appearance in The Cutting Room, gay auctioneer Rilke is still walking a moral tightrope between good and bad, saint and sinner.

Praise for The Second Cut:

'I doubt I'll read a better book this year. Dark, funny and humane, Louise Welsh tells the stories that nobody else dares.'

VAL McDERMID

'Plunges the reader straight into Glasgow's underbelly. This is hard-boiled Scottish crime writing at its best'
