Saira Viola delivers a psychedelic, scary, funny, and at times cosmic and gritty thriller. She's a unique and powerful voice. Terrific.A great book for crime lovers, surrealists and post modern fiction enthusiasts .Unique and brilliantly told 5 stars.

Loved the style of this author, and cant wait to read more from her! Im so glad I read this. Excellent story line, and a great read.

It looks really simple but there's clearly an art to it :"He was a white black man with black credibility and a luxuriously indulgent white lifestyle ."Or "All the class criminarti are in Clerkenwell." The book is about a London gangster Mel who draws a young lawyer to his fold Nick and how Nick succumbs to the lure of power and money . On the way he falls for an ambitious journalist Avery and the book covers
