Review
"'A bizarre mixture of Chandleresque elegance... and naked brutality' Dally Telegraph 'Hellishly bleak and moving' New Statesman 'He writes beautifully, and his sincerity cannot be faulted' Evening Standard 'Raymond writes with a stomach-churning exactness about murder, madness and mutilation' The Times 'Superb... an English Chandler... only better' Dally Mall 'A mixture of thin-lipped Chandleresque backchat and of idioms more icily subversive' Observer 'Raw-edged, strong and disturbing stuff' The Scotsman"
Product Description
A man?s corpse is discovered in a Rotherhithe warehouse, chopped up, boiled to avoid identification, and bundled into five Waitrose carrier bags. Our nameless narrator from A14 - the ?Unexplained Deaths? division of the Met - is put on the case. Operating, as usual, with his wit and sheer nerve in place of adequate resources and contacts, the narrator?s investigations uncover much more than the murderer. As he probes a world of horror in South London, a terrible secret from his own past emerges. ?A bizarre mixture of Chandleresque elegance... and naked brutality? Daily Telegraph ?Hellishly bleak and moving? New Statesman ?Superb... an English Chandler... only better? Daily Mail
