By way of a bad way to turn 30, Angelique de Xavia gets caught in the middle of a surreal bank robbery, and finds her loyalties sorely tested. And that's just the start of her and everyone else's troubles. Also provides a quick crash course for outsiders in the way Protestant/Catholic divides in Scotland align with football fandom. The second of the three De Xavia Christopher Brookmyre novels.
