Product Description
Literary Review
'Ingenious conclusion which mingles murder, nostalgia, a massive cocaine deal and ultimate salvation served up in style'

Sunday Age, Melbourne
'MORTAL COIL is dirty realism without posing, utterly contemporary, and with excellent musical taste.'

4.0 out of 5 stars A thriller with a heart (I think!), 28 May 2007
This review is from: Mortal Coil (Paperback)
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.
