About this listen

In 'A Fault on the Line' you will meet a husband who values a televised Hibs v Hearts game more than his wife’s life.

This short story features in the collection Reheated Cabbage and is available unabridged on audio for the first time. Hilarious, shocking and hugely entertaining, it has all the classic Irvine Welsh ingredients.
