Product Description

Review
'McGowan's debut packs a vicious punch, turning his characters inside out en route to a finely crafted finale.' - Good Book Guide. 'A cleverly constructed tingler that will make readers want to keep the light on when they go to bed' - Scotsman. 'Explosively impressive first novel... a thoroughly modern, irresistably readable narrative' - Birmingham Morning Star. 'Articulate on the friction of class, the bonds of friendship and the power of hatred. The suspense is tantalising and the situation marries the gothic quality of a haunted house story with revenge tragedy and the peculiar ambience of British boarding-schooled males at play. An accomplished and thoughtful debut' - Manchester Evening News"

Sunday Age, Melbourne
'MORTAL COIL is dirty realism without posing, utterly contemporary, and with excellent musical taste.' --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars A thriller with a heart (I think!), 28 May 2007
This is really two stories in one book. On the one hand there's a page turner drugs/thriller/killer type narrative set in Kilburn, but inside that there's a second narrative going on, and that was the one that interested me more - the story of an introspective, intelligent, over analysing likeable bloke getting caught up in big boys gangster land trouble - all through a link with a guy from school that the main character Matthew, knew in Leeds. It's kind of an airport fiction type thing but more intelligent. Actually I read it in two days and couldn't put it down because I liked the main character and I wanted things to turn out well for him. That said, there's a twist at the end that I didn't see coming and a couple of revelations that throw things a bit, that I am not sure entirely "fit" with the character or the plot, but I am giving this 4 stars because I was genuinely entertained and I haven't enjoyed the book I am reading now half as much. It took me away into another place.
