Description
Book Synopsis'Hypnotic, feverish and altogether wonderful' (Guardian) - the author of the bestselling Long Firm trilogy turns his eye on the anarchic 1970s.
Trade ReviewRich in the forensic detail that's made Arnott the pop-culture laureate he is...breathless and compelling * Martin Horsfield,
Time Out *
Fascinating, compelling, pulpy - all you'd expect from a writer who just keeps getting better. *
Arena *
Bristling with contained energy and generating a white-hot unease. Best of all, the novel rescues the 1970s from the simple-minded dismissal of the entire decade as a kitsch-only zone...as Arnott argues with urgent, spellbinding power, it was a decade aflame rather than just flaming' * Patrick Ness,
Guardian *
Beautifully observed and brilliantly paced...a fascinating portrait of impotence and amorality by a writer unafraid to take risks * Michael Arditti,
Independent *
Once again he has skewered an age to the page...funny, sexy, touching, too, but it is the undertow of dread beneath the antics that makes it a serious achievement * Mark Sanderson,
Evening Standard *
'Undoubtedly Arnott's best invention to date.' * Henry Sutton,
Daily Mirror *
Compelling * Peter Burton,
