Review:

"'I haven't laughed so hard or often at a crime novel in years. A wonderfully perverse book, I recommend it in the highest possible terms.' Scott Phillips * 'The man can tell a story, oh, yes, indeed.' T. C. Boyle * 'Brilliant. Perverse black humour and sensuality, totally unexpected situations. This is spare, stylish writing. Impossible not to finish once you've started.' New York Post"
