A powerful, disturbing and violent thriller about two teenage boys caught up with Glasgow's criminal underworld. Gay Times described Dickson's Oddfellows as possessing "characters that are extremely dangerous to know" -- a book which blends "eroticism with the hard elements of poverty, greed and malice" and which "transports the comfortable reader to a terrifying world that most of us feel immune from".Crossing Jordan returns us to that same terrifying world as abused runaway Kel involves his middle-class school friend Danny in a drug deal that leads to an accidental killing. A series of misunderstandings makes them the enemies of Jordan, a charismatic criminal who both attracts and repels them.
