Product Description
How much blood would you spill to avenge those you love? Andy Park passes out at the sight of blood, but he thinks hes discovered a way to make his family's enemies pay. He isn't prepared for the fallout, though, when his teenage son is put in mortal danger and his daughter and her fiance are forced to carry out his dirty work. And yet Parks world is peachy in comparison to Tommy Savages.A masked man known only as Mr. Smith is blackmailing Savage for what, he has no idea. And after an attempt to gain the upper hand has near-fatal results, Tommy and his brother, Phil, find themselves heading to a graveyard with only a couple of swords and a bag of cash for company. Will they survive the night? Will anyone? With equal parts blood phobia and blood lust, Allan Guthrie's Savage Night unfolds over six short blood-blind hours in Scotland's capital city.

Excellent., Mar 7 2009
By Christopher Walker - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Savage Night (Hardcover)
This book was a very well written thriller that that was hard to put down. The story went on and did not tire at all. The ending was great and went over well compared to other endings of books like this. If you like this also check out Point Fury by John Maxwell.

A Tough Night to Follow, July 8 2009
By Kenneth Stenger - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Savage Night (Paperback)
Allan Guthrie takes you through a noir night that can only be the product of familial love which exists without criminal bounds. Every tragic and horrible twist of this well executed is founded in the family binds that tie into a cat's cradle.Here is the special treat for anyone into this genre: find the two shout outs to Duane Swiercynski. One is a perfect reference to Secret Dead Men.
Bravo to Allan Guthrie for writing this and having the respect to say hello to an influence.

You think you know, but you don't. Read this., April 5 2012
By Jean-Benoit Lelievre "Ben" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Savage Night (Hardcover)
Allan Guthrie does this. He takes what could be the most straightforward crime scenario, bare non the most straightforward story and turns them into surreal, balletic, over-the-top, cacophonous celebration of gory violence and spiteful feeling, like a demented Italian chef making long, thick spaghettis of death by stetching and deforming dough. There is nobody that writes like him. Nobody. I used to think Guy Ritchie's movies were cool, but they're not. They're vanilla compared to this. SAVAGE NIGHT would make Guy Ritchie cry for his mother. In fact, the debate I had with myself before reading it was to know whether it would live up to its title, which is legendary is noir. Not only it does, but it should have been called something like that. SAVAGE NIGHT 2: SAVAGER. Great book.
