The cult bestseller that launched Jake Arnott as one of the most exciting new voices of the decade - ''A gangster novel every bit as cool, stylish and venomous as the London in which it''s set'' (Independent on Sunday)

''I''ll tell you what happens now,'' Harry says, reading my mind. ''You can go now. We''re quits. You don''t talk to anybody about anything. You''ve had a taste of what will happen if you do.''

Meet Harry Starks: club owner, racketeer, porn king, sociology graduate and Judy Garland fan. To be in his orbit is to be caught up in the music, the parties, the people and the sex of London in the Swinging Sixties. But behind the rough charm and cheap glamour is a man prepared to do what it takes to get what he wants.

Industry Reviews

I simply could put it down, couldn't stop until I'd finished it. It tooke me right back to the times and brought back the fear - the real cold fear - of the period - Terry O'Neill, 60s photographer

Gripping ... slumming it doesn t get much better than this - Time Out

Jake Arnott has created a gangster story every bit as cool, stylish and venomous as the London in which it is set, an English original as sharp and lethal as a Savile Row lapel - Independent on Sunday

the book stood apart by virtue of its intelligent probing of the gap between gangster pose and live reality, its refusal to glamorise and its cool dissections of class and masculine vulnerability. - Time Out London
