Opis

London 1968. A city of two sides. A copper caught in the crossfire. The Black Sheep. The wayward son of a rising MP is mutilated and burnt in suspicious circumstances. The Honest Detective. DS Cathal Breen dodges political embargo and death threats to pursue the case. The Rolling Stone. Notorious art dealer Robert Fraser may provide the only clue - if only he will talk. And as Breen slips deeper into London's underground of hippies and heroin, he edges nearer to the secrets of those at the very top. Banished from a corrupt and fracturing system, he will finally be forced to fight fire with fire.

Recenzje

Insightful . . . a novel about the estrangement of fathers and sons, but Shaw has gone beyond that, creating an elegy for an entire alienated generation New York Times
