Cuttin' Heads
D.A Watson
Aldo Evans is a desperate man. Fired from his job and deeply in debt, he struggles to balance a broken family life with his passion for music.
Luce Figura is a troubled woman. A rhythmic perfectionist, she is haunted by childhood trauma and scorned by her religiously devout mother.
Ross McArthur is a wiseass. Orphaned as an infant and raised by the state, his interests include game shows, home-grown weed, occasional violence and the bass guitar.
They are Public Alibi. A rock n’ roll band going nowhere fast.
When the sharp-suited, smooth talking producer Gappa Bale offers them a once in a lifetime chance to make their dreams come true, they are caught up in a maelstrom of fame, obsession, music and murder.
Soon, Aldo, Luce and Ross must ask themselves: is it really better to burn out than to fade away?

About The Author:
D.A. Watson was halfway through a music and media degree at the University of Glasgow when he discovered he was actually better at writing, and unleashed his debut novel, In the Devil's Name, on an unsuspecting public in the summer of 2012. Plans of a career in education left firmly in the dust, he kept scribbling, and later gained his masters degree in Creative Writing from the University of Stirling.
He has since published two more novels; The Wolves of Langabhat and Cuttin' Heads, plus several prizewinning articles and stories, including Durty Diana, which was nominated for an Pushcart Prize in the US in 2016, and the Burns parody Tam O' Shatner, competition winner at the Falkirk Storytelling Festival and runner up in the Dunedin Burns Poetry Competition in New Zealand.
He lives with his family in Western Scotland.
"The Christoper Brookmyre of horror. Readers will be very very afraid."
- Louise Welsh, bestselling author of the Plague Times trilogy
