It's thirty years since Harry Starks and his gang kept the underworld of Soho under control but the consequences of their brutal reign are still being felt. Julie McCluskey, the actress daughter of one of Starks' victims, has grown up without a father and now that she's discovered it was money from her father's murderers that put her through drama school, she's furious. Furious with her mother for accepting it, but even more furious with Harry Starks - and she's decided she wants revenge. Tony Meehan, journalist and part-time murderer ('I've only killed three') has added another occupation to his list: he's ghostwriting the autobiography of one of the Bullion Job (Brinks Mat) gang, a robbery in which Starks was also involved, and the gold's still missing. And then there's Gaz, who worked for Starks' rival Beardsley in the 80s and is now running bouncers, taking too many drugs, and playing a very dangerous game. Moving his focus on to the greedy 80s and the rave scene of the 90s, Arnott delivers another hard-edged, riveting, brilliant novel that will delight his many admirers and win him more.… (mehr)

"Funny, fast, witty, and brutal." - David Bowie
  WishfulThinker | Dec 26, 2020 |
Gangsters divorced over time from he superficial glamour magazine f the Swinging Sixties, updated to a loved up drug and celebrity culture ruled '90s. Lights in tone than the previous books of the trilogy, it does manage to tie up at lot of loose ends, albeit a bit tidily... ( )

I enjoyed reading this book.
It is really 3 separate stories that loosely come together.
Its the 3rd and final book in the Harry Starks trilogy.
This book is set in the mid 1990s when a new government and technology is about to change the UK.
Easy to read book with a host of characters good and bad. ( )

The first book by him I've read. Not bad. I rattled through it in a couple of days. It wittily references Lock Stock, Loaded magazine, Guy Ritchie, the Range Rover murders, Leah Betts and much more. Nothing special but worth a read if you fancy some enjoyable tosh. ( )

The third novel by the bestselling British author continues his small tell-all masterpiece revealing the unwritten 40-year history of the London underworld, populated by celebrity criminals, members of high society and the peerage, henchman, and louche entertainers.
