Small Remainder Dot On Top Edge. 0881502677. 218 pages. hardcover. keywords: Mystery England . FROM THE PUBLISHER - A fast, violent drama of a man's attempt to rise above his surroundings--in this case the squalor and hopelessness of Deptford, a London suburb tourists never see. It introduces to American readers a distinctive new voice in British crime fiction. Floyd Carter returns to London for the funeral of his brother. Was Albie's death an accident or did somebody kill him? Discovering the truth isn't easy. A gang leader demands Floyd cough up the ten grand he claims Albie owed; another wants Floyd to join his network of drug pushers. Only Floyd's childhood friend, Suzie, provides a haven. Even then, her daughter is developing some dangerous habits. Plunged into a world of drugs and violence, Floyd grapples with the facts surrounding Albie's death as bodies start to pile up. Black humor underpins the action of this fast-moving, hard-hitting thriller. Russell James writes a muscular, undecorated prose' (Sunday Times) which perfectly captures London's criminal underworld. A typically tough and thoroughly compelling read from the author of ten novels, including SLAUGHTER MUSIC and NO ONE GETS HURT. A first-class story of London gangland, told with a considerable amount of panache'- Philip Kerr. inventory #25081 Very Good in Dustjacket. Small Remainder Dot On Top Edge. Seller Inventory # z25081

Book Description Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. 1st American edition, October 1993. top of page edges slightly dusty else fine in dust jacket. It introduces to American readers a distinctive new voice in British crime fiction. "It's been 10 years since ex-boxer Floyd Carter has been in England. But when he returns from Germany for the funeral of his older brother, Albie, Floyd winds up having a lot more to deal with than cremation arrangements and hard questions about what to do with addlepated younger brother, Ludo. Albie, it seems, was up to his neck in trouble with drug dealers--about 10,000 pounds' worth--and thugs start hounding Floyd and Ludo for the dough. Floyd doesn't want the involvement, but he soon realizes that if he wants to stay alive, he must quickly determine which circles Albie traveled in and who knew what and why about Albie's death. Floyd's cruise into the depressing gray side of working-class London leads him to crack cocaine and heroin, rival gangs, and one violent encounter after another (where his boxing training and tough hide serve him well). James' writing is in the best hard-boiled tradition, and his evocation of the seamier side of British life is subtly realistic and without sensationalism." --Booklist. Book. Seller Inventory # 003771
