Items related to The Long Firm
London. The 1960s. The capital is swinging, but underneath the boomtown there's a dark underbelly. Meet Harry Starks: club owner, racketeer, porn king, sociology graduate and keen Judy Garland fan. Harry's business is fronting violence with rough charm and cheap glamour; putting the frighteners on, performing menace while trying to desperately trying to jump the counter into legitimacy.
Five characters tell five tales that combine in an extraordinary narrative that is both an explosively paced thriller and brilliantly imagined sociological and topographical portrait of sixties London.

Review:
One of the smartest, funniest and most original novels you will read all year ... Arnott is quite brilliant at excavating the cultural minutiae of the time to bring the period vividly to life (Independent on Sunday)
Truly fascinating ... Arnott's ability to powerfully resurrect an era is astonishing (Guardian)
This is pulp fiction so polished as to be immaculate (New Statesman)
THE LONG FIRM manages to hook you from the first. It is compulsive reading, powerful writing with an evocative feel for the bleaker side of the Swinging Sixties (The Times)
Outstanding ... as smooth as a seersucker suit, as sweet as a purple heart. Suck it and see. (Observer)
