«Boiling a Frog» is the crime novel by Christopher Brookmyre featuring Jack Parlabane, published by Time Warner Paperbacks in paperback (416 pages, in English).
New Scotland, new parliament, and Victorian morality once again dominate the political agenda. Jack Parlabane, an investigative journalist used to breaking the law for a good story, is in prison and discovers that several inmates have not forgotten the man who helped put them away. Meanwhile, the Scottish Catholic Church exploits the political confusion and spin doctors hide the truth behind the scenes: the perfect scandal for Parlabane, if he can get out of jail.
Third installment in the series featuring journalist Jack Parlabane. The edition includes 416 pages.
For readers of thrillers with political satire and black humor, like those of Carl Hiaasen, applied to British and Scottish politics.
