Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The world of Kay Farrow is one of shades of white and black; she is a photographer, and entirely colour blind, and she has developed a taste for crusading. As in The Magician's Tale, someone has killed one of her friends and they are not going to get away with it. Her mentor Maddy is killed by a hit- and-run motorcyclist in the Mission District of San Francisco. Maddy had retired from war photography after years in the front line, and it is unclear what she was doing. Rapidly the point becomes not who killed her--Kay sorts that out with remarkable execution--but why?
Where the first book took us on a tour of San Francisco's hustlers and pimps, this takes us to rich men with time on their hands, and a gun club about which there are distinctly unsavoury rumours. Hunt's command of gun culture, of Wild West shows, of Chinese gangland and of photography and martial arts is impressive--we believe in his heroine partly because of the authority with which he describes the worlds she kicks around like anthills. And the raw emotion with which he infuses her makes us care. --Roz Kaveney

'Unreels like a film noir, full of black-and-white images, grays and shadows'
