Can Nothing Save Us?

by Irvine Welsh

A divided Las Vegas family is forced to confront the past and reckon with a dangerous future in the searing new novel from Irvine Welsh.

Molly and George Warburton are used to living life their own way. Now, in the ferocious heat of Sin City, the couple are facing up to their failures and final years.

They announce that their grandson Luke - college dropout, aspiring writer, electronic dance music aficionado - will inherit their millions. It is sudden news that leaves their daughter Gina hell-bent on revenge.

Yet Luke's good fortune will not last. When a strange newcomer to the neighbourhood insinuates himself into the Warburtons' world, it is the beginning of a chain of chilling events that could split the family permanently and put all their lives at risk.
