English Summary/英文概要： Gus Dury once had a high-flying career as a journalist and a wife he adored. But now he is living on the edge, a drink away from Edinburgh’s down-and-outs, drifting from bar to bar, trying not to sign divorce papers. But the road takes an unexpected turn when a friend asks him to investigate the brutal torture and killing of his son, and Gus becomes embroiled in a much bigger story of political corruption and illegal people-trafficking. Seedy doss-houses, bleak wastelands and sudden violence contrast with the cobbled streets and cool bistros of fashionable Edinburgh, as the puzzle unravels to a truly shocking ending.

Awards/获奖情况："One adrenalin-pumped novel... the narrative blasts off the page like a triple malt."
Ken Bruen（肯‧布魯恩/愛爾蘭犯罪推理小說名家）
Irvine Welsh: "Tony Black is my favourite British crime writer and Gus Dury the genre’s most interesting protagonist. Like his previous books, LOSS has the power, style and street swagger that makes most of his contemporaries a little bland by comparison."

Reviews:
A fine debut. Black is the new noir---Allan Guthrie
Tony Black’s first novel hits the ground running, combining a sympathetic ear for the surreal dialogue of the dispossessed with a portrait of the belly of a city painted in the blackest of humour.---Guardian
Paying For It might just be the most aptly titled novel of the year. Rarely has a title worked on so many levels... the narrative blasts off the page like a triple malt... This is one adrenalin-pumped novel, as moving and compassionate as it is stylishly written---Ken Bruen, author of The Guards
Assuming (and hoping) that this is the first of many featuring the tortured Gus Dury, we’ve NEVER seen a series character so richly and honestly drawn from the get-go. The emotional punches connect solidly in Paying For It, as the pains of being a father and the pains of being a son are laid bare. The debut of the year.---Thuglit.com
Of all the new writers emerging this year, he is the one to watch---Martyn Waites, author of the Joe Donovan series
