Description
A brutal and thought-provoking crime drama sets the tone for this gripping novel. A middle-aged man is found brutally battered to death on a roadside in West London, leading a tough-talking detective sergeant to investigate. Working from cassette tapes left behind by the victim, the narrator must piece together the history of his life and uncover the truth behind his violent end. As he delves deeper into the case, the detective sergeant encounters a complex web of lies and deceit, revealing a cast of characters that are both convincing and deeply flawed. With its vivid portrayal of London's darker corners, this novel is a compelling exploration of justice and the human condition. Derek Raymond's writing brings a sense of realism to the story, making it feel both gritty and thought-provoking.
