With mostly bad results for himself, painfully - vividly - described. He gets up again a bit quicker than I'd've thought possible but then, I'm no more a bloke used to beatings than I am an alcoholic!

I really like the Gus Dury series. It's got action and a lot of fiery emotional depth, with Gus and his tribulations at the center. Plus, "Gutted" works very well as a mystery. Black keeps several cards up his sleeve and plays them skillfully. Jun 04, Eva rated it liked it.
