When Rilke, a dissolute auctioneer, comes upon a hidden collection of violent and highly disturbing photographs, he feels compelled to discover more about the deceased owner who coveted them. Soon he finds himself sucked into an underworld of crime, depravity and secret desire, fighting for his life.

Absolutely riveting story with enough twists to keep you surprised and relatable characters. The protagonist’s voice (especially as voiced by the mysterious pixie, Alan Cumming) is sharp and introspective in the best way. Now to begin “The Second Cut” !!

More Rilke please, Ms Welsh
