About this title

Review:

Classic hard-boiled detective fiction * * The Guardian * * Stylish, dead-pan funny and exhaustingly fashionable, Joel Rose's novel explores the urban intersections of violence, sex, crime and punishment - The pace never drops, and as an exercise in style the novel will win admirers. * * The Times * * a streetwise thriller with its own idiosyncratic voice. * * Scotland on Sunday * * It's very, very good and it's really hard to put down! - It gets into your blood. * * Time Out (New York) * *
