Iain Banks, in his most mainstream novel, _Complicity_, manages to create an original thriller involving a serial killer. A journalist, whose life revolves almost solely around drugs, computer games and kinky sex with the wife of one of his friends, is the recipient of a series of telephone calls which promise to lead him to a journalistic coup. Meanwhile, a number of men with questionable business ethics and practices are brutally and rather imaginatively murdered. Somehow the journalist finds himself caught up in the web of the serial killer and is himself accused of the murders. I found this quite fast-moving and enjoyable, even though I don't normally like crime thriller type of novels. Recommended.
