From the Back Cover
In South London terrorists plot . . .
Hood, a renegade American diplomat, envisions a new urban order in the opium fog of his room. He flirts with terrorists, hoping to win their trust and respect. Mayo, his sometime bedmate, has just made a political statement - stealing a Flemish painting and negotiating publicity over this act with The Times. Murf the bomb-maker leaves his mark in red, scrawling 'Arsenal Rule' across half the city's walls, whilst his sixteen-year-old girlfriend, Brodie, bombs Euston and afterwards worries about her complexion.
A novel of London lowlife and the dispossessed, and a powerful and violent thriller of disenchanted people.
'A pleasure ... with Theroux the thrills are never cheap and obvious' Guardian
'One of the most evocative, intelligently crafted suspense novels in years - like the early fiction of Graham Greene ... London has rarely looked dingier or more sinister ... an assured success' New York Times
'Brilliant and haunting ... the ingenuities of the plot, the London setting ... the trapped and interwoven people, and the balefully witty observation, have an undistracted force' Observer
