The Testament of Gideon Mack

Uncorrected Proof. 8vo. Pp. [viii], 387. Printed mauve wraps.

Long-listed for the 2006 Man Booker Prize. Shortlisted for the Saltire Book of the Year Award, which he subsequently won in 2010 with his novel And the Land Lay Still. A Richard and Judy's Book Club pick. Rescued from certain death by the devil himself, an atheist preacher recovers his faith only to lose his place in the community. A paranormal mystery exploring faith and belief in present day Scotland. "Overwhelmingly compassionate and thought-provoking. Demands another read." –Irvine Welsh, Guardian
