Simon Temprell

This book has a psychopath as the main character, sex - gay and straight, child abuse and violence aplenty but it made me laugh all the way through.

Extract

The revolver is hidden beneath a mound of dirty knickers in her suitcase and Jackie can feel its steely presence urging her to follow through with the scheme. She knows where Chip lives; she has been there in her mind.
At first Jackie thought only of killing Aiden - that conniving little queer who turned Chip into a pervert and made him leave her sister.
