At the heart of the story is Benny “The Fixer” Pomeranski—a charming and cunning figure whose legacy unravels through his funeral, remembered by his son Simon and a colourful cast of characters from Brixton’s backstreets to smoky cabarets. As layers of loyalty, betrayal, and long-lost love peel away, we’re drawn into a world of faded showgirls, underground clubs, hidden affairs, and daring heists—rich with the vernacular and vibe of an era now vanished.
Perfect for readers of Sarah Waters, John le Carré, and fans of noir-infused historical fiction, Pomeranski is a vivid reminder of the complexity of memory and the power of reinvention. With a narrative voice as evocative as it is sharp, Jacobs reasserts his place among Britain’s finest chroniclers of cultural identity, crime, and family intrigue.
Rediscover a world where jazz meets jealousy, and old scores still echo in backstreet corners—where every secret has its soundtrack and every character their own performance.
About Gerald Jacobs
Gerald Jacobs is an award-winning, prolific author, journalist, and literary editor whose work has earned critical acclaim across both fiction and non-fiction. With a career spanning several decades, Jacobs has become a distinctive voice in British literature, exploring themes of identity, history, displacement, and cultural legacy with wit, nuance, and emotional depth.
He is the author of the widely praised Nine Love Letters, a hauntingly beautiful novel that charts the lives of two refugee families in post-war London, and Sacred Games, a powerful biography of a Holocaust survivor that has been hailed as a landmark contribution to 20th-century history. His writing has been published in leading national newspapers and literary journals, and he has served as the long-time Literary Editor of the Jewish Chronicle.
With Pomeranski, Jacobs turns his lens toward the shadowy glamour and vibrant underbelly of post-war South London, drawing richly textured portraits of gangsters, showgirls, shopkeepers, and dreamers—all navigating a rapidly changing world. His style is often compared to that of Jake Arnott, Sarah Waters, and Alan Sillitoe, blending gripping narrative with cultural insight and historical resonance.
