2022br. Un poliziotto come Ray Lennox non è mai fuori servizio. Nemmeno quando è in vacanza a Miami e dovrebbe pensare solo a rilassarsi e a preparare il suo matrimonio con Trudi. Nonostante l'abbondante ricorso all'alcol e alla cocaina, Ray è molto diverso da Robbo, il «lercio» della polizia di Edimburgo e suo mentore di un tempo. Reduce da un raccapricciante caso di pedofilia e omicidio che ha sconvolto la Scozia, Lennox deve combattere con i suoi demoni più nascosti, ma nulla sembra andare per il verso giusto. In seguito a una discussione particolarmente accesa con Trudi, Lennox finisce in un bar malfamato e poi a un festino a base di coca. E qui non può fare a meno di mettere in salvo Tianna, una bambina dal passato travagliato e dal presente ancora più fosco. Sentendo di potersi fidare di lui, la madre della bambina gliela affida affinché la porti al sicuro, dall'altra parte della Florida. Il viaggio si rivela una durissima prova: per sconfiggere il dolore, quello reale, che risale con brutalità dalla sua coscienza, Lennox sa che deve attraversarlo, andare fino in fondo. Ricordo e allucinazione, incubo e realtà si rincorrono in cerca di una soluzione, di una speranza. Sotto la luce impietosa del sole della Florida, Irvine Welsh scandaglia le profondità più innominabili della crudeltà e del rimorso umano, con la sua penna sempre tagliente e anfetaminica.

2018ril. Alessandro Incandela, vice questore di Genova, si trova di fronte a un'altra vittima di violenza. Una giovane donna è stata martoriata e sembra non avere né un nome né un passato. Tutta la squadra omicidi è impegnata nelle indagini, ma l'assassino sembra non aver lasciato tracce. Intanto il giornalista Fausto Cinaglia si diverte a mettere in piazza il marcio che si nasconde negli uffici della questura e tra le alte cariche istituzionali. Il sole splende su Genova, ma è dalla notte che nascono le ombre.
2020brossura Saggio giallo-allegorico ispirato ad una storia giudiziaria vera originata nella provincia di Cuneo un caso di giustizia "deviata", spiegato e raccontato criptologicamente da un investigatore documentale. È la storia vera delle battaglie penali di un disoccupato contro un sistema di almeno 8 insabbiamenti giudiziari penali nell'Italia settentrionale. Il filo conduttore è la lotta del disoccupato (disoccupato sì, ma con l'hobby del diritto penale "pratico", che così, anno dopo anno, diventa investigatore documentale) per la correttezza della funzione giurisdizionale e contro l'abuso palese del principio di colleganza (per cui un magistrato non indaga sostanzialmente un magistrato collega). Il libro è suddiviso in 3 sotto libri: libro 1/3, libro 2/3 e libro 3/3. Il libro 1/3 è narrativo principalmente, mentre gli ultimi due libri sono documentali.
