 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })An Irvine Welsh novel published in 2008, following the misadventures of Ray Lennox, a character previously seen in Filth.Eight years after the death of his mentor Bruce Robertson and a promotion to Detective Inspector, Ray Lennox is on leave in Miami, Florida, following a harrowing case which he had become perhaps too invested in. Accompanied by his fiancee Trudi, the vacation intended for relaxation and wedding planning is anything but for the "polisman", whose anxiety and depression drive him toward excessive alcohol consumption and a relapse in his cocaine habit. Quickly growing estranged from his soon-to-be wife and throwing himself into the vices of the nightlife, he crosses paths with Hard-Drinking Party Girl Robyn and her 10-year old daughter, Tianna. The chance meeting reveals an insidious criminal plot, and catalyzes a quest of redemption for the traumatized policeman, as the details surrounding his most recent case, as well as the childhood events which led to his dedication to law enforcement, are slowly revealed.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Break the Haughty: Though Ray is easy prey for Mr. Confectioner's self-aggrandizing speeches, Gillman quite casually dismisses it, mocks the idea of him being a "predator", and intimidates the man into fearful silence.
