English Summary/英文概要： Gus Dury is a changed man. He is off the Edinburgh streets and back with estranged wife, Debs. He has promised her that he won’t get involved in any more dodgy cases which the police can’t or won’t solve. And above all, he’s off the drink. In his pocket at all times is a half bottle of scotch, but although the label is worn to shreds, he has never so much as loosened the cap. Then his brother Michael is found dead with a bullet in his heart and Gus’ life begins to unravel all over again. How can he keep the promises he has made and still avenge his brother’s murder?
LOSS, Tony Black’s third novel about washed-up hack turned private investigator Gus Dury, is absolutely gripping - a labyrinth of violence, secrets and emotion. This is a true rollercoaster of a read.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 如果你是 Ian Rankins或Irvine Welsh的書迷，這個系列肯定為你而寫！Gus Dury series(VL)
格斯•杜睿（Gus Dury ）彻底改头换面了。他远离爱丁堡街，与妻子戴比斯（Debs）重归于好。他向她保证不会再卷入任何警察解决不来的案件。尤其最最重要的是，他戒掉了酒。他的口袋里一直有半瓶酒，但是标签已磨得体无完肤，他从没有如此懈怠。不久他的弟弟被发现死了，心口中了一枪，格斯的生活重又开始解惑。他要怎样不违背对妻子的诺言，又能为弟弟报仇呢？
本书是作者的第三部小说，讲的都是一个一蹶不振的黑客蜕变为私家侦探的故事。主角格斯绝对吸引人，是个集暴力、秘密与感性于一体的矛盾。本书惊险刺激，值得一读。(XJJ)

新作《失去》所获好评： 时报（The Times)：“托尼是苏格兰最杰出的黑色犯罪者写者之一...在丑恶的环境下将情感原声呈现。”
苏格兰人（The Scotsman)：“如果你是伊安•阮金斯（Ian Rankins）等人的粉丝，这本书就绝对合你胃口。”

伦敦夜晚标准（London Evening Standard)：“颓废的私家侦探不再，杜睿变得十分吸引人-他和罪犯一样辛苦，甚至具有更大的破坏性。”
肯•布鲁恩（Ken Bruen)，《伦敦大道》（LONDON BOULEVARD）作家：“在过去二十年里托尼写出了两本英国最好的犯罪小说，而我相信在今后的二十年里，他的《为之奋斗》（Paying for It and Gutted ）将会在任何犯罪小说排名中位列前十。但是，这部《失去》让我震撼。能看到大师成就你所期待的每一件事是一种特权。”"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."

Praise for new novel: LOSS:
“Tony Black is one of those excellent perpetrators of Scottish noir …a compelling and convincing portrayer of raw emotions in a vicious milieu”---The Times
“If you are a fan of the Ian Rankins, Denise Minas and Irvine Welshs of this world, this is most certainly one for you.”---The Scotsman
“The enigmatic Dury continues to be the punk rocker of the Scottish crime scene - anarchic, rebellious and never afraid to shove his Doc Martens where they are not wanted.”---Daily Record
“As washed-up private detectives go, Gus Dury is compelling - he’s as hard as any criminal and twice as self-destructive”---London Evening Standard
“Tony Black has written two of the finest crime novels to come out of the UK in the past twenty years and I’m willing to bet that in twenty years, Paying for It and Gutted will be on the top ten list of any crime list. But now comes Loss ... Phew-oh ... It’s like having yer ass kicked and yer heart shrived simultaneously. What a privilege to watch a master writer achieve everything you’d hoped for and then some.”---Ken Bruen, author of LONDON BOULEVARD
