For six days, Los Angeles is a city ablaze.
For six days, seventeen people are caught in the chaos.
For six days, Los Angeles shows the world what happens when laws are no longer enforceable.
Ernesto Vera is walking home from his job at a taco truck when three guys jump out of a car and assault him. Ernesto's not in a gang, he's not involved, but his sister is - and when Payasa hears that her innocent brother has been murdered, she wants revenge. As widespread rioting breaks out across the city, Ernesto's death triggers an astonishing sequence of events, not just for the gangs involved, but for the firefighters, nurses and law enforcement who must deal with the consequences.
In April 1992, after one of the most notorious, racially charged trials in American history, the city of L.A. exploded in violence. All Involved tells the interconnected stories of seventeen characters over six life-changing days, and transforms the truly extraordinary story of the L.A. riots into a vivid, electrifying and addictive work of fiction.

Review:
'Full of brutality with flashes of tenderness, this is an adrenaline-fulled, roller-coaster ride of a novel. Hold on tight.' (The Bookseller)
'A tour de force ... without glamorising his subject, there's a lyricism in the vernacular and street language that makes it hard not to be moved ... a powerful work of fiction.' (GQ)
'[A] truly remarkable novel ... this kaleidoscopic work is unflinching, unsettling and unforgettable ... it deserves, frankly, to sell more copies than Trainspotting.' (The Scotsman)
'[A] briskly suspenseful gangster yarn ... highly entertaining.' (The Guardian)
'A high-octane speedball of a read: gritty, nerve-racking, sometimes excruciating in its violence and at the same time animated by a bone-deep understanding of its characters' daily lives ... All Involved has the verbal ardor of a Richard Price novel, the pungent verisimilitude of Sanyika Shakur's riveting 1993 memoir of gang life ... and the choral energy of a Rashomon-style documentary.' (The New York Times)
