Filth

Book • 1996
Irvine Welsh's 'Filth' follows Detective Sergeant Bruce Robertson, a morally bankrupt and self-destructive character, as he navigates the seedy underbelly of Edinburgh.

The novel explores themes of corruption, identity, and the destructive nature of manipulation, all set against the backdrop of a city's dark secrets.

Through Bruce's chaotic life, Welsh delves into the consequences of addiction and the blurring of moral boundaries.
