Product Description
TRASHOTRON
"Grimwood does suck you in, every time. And he delivers a unique reading experience, every time."
Review
"A slick, exciting contemporary thriller... littered with with dark humour and superb characters, Grimwood writes authoritavely on Japan and evocatively recreates London and the differences in cultures." (STARBURST )
"End of the World Blues would be a dark crime thriller set in the cracks between the mobsters and the darker end of law-enforcement, almost '24' as Tarantino might direct it. The crime drama and characterizations of ageing gangsters going respectable, and ageing coppers bending the rules, are gripping." (STARBURST )
"The New Wave is dead, but don't worry; its leading lights - and with his best novel to date that certainly includes Jon Courtenay Grimwood - are in rude health." (Jonathan Wright SFX )
"A tautly-told crime thriller dripping with atmosphere and fascinating characters. An enigmatic novel that you'll read twice in a row - because you'll want to, because you'll need to." (Dave Golder BBC FOCUS )
"Grimwood does suck you in, every time. And he delivers a unique reading experience, every time." (TRASHOTRON )
"Tokyo is the metaphor for rivalry, redemption and dislocation in Grimwood's latest parallelised sci-fi noir. As a summer page turner, it certainly hits the spot." (EDGE magazine )
"Grimwood has a real gift for emotional extremes and for how it feels to be threatened with the worst things you can imagine. End of the World Blues is the same sort of book as his last, "9 Tail Fox" but only in the sense that they are more like each other than like anything else." (Roz Kaveney TIME OUT )
"Jon Courtenay Grimwood has always written terrific cyber-punk, rooted in an acute sense of place and style. If you've liked anything by Grimwood, you'll love this. If you haven't, begin at once: if he gets any better, someone will have to drive a spike though *his* head." (Andrew McKie THE TELEGRAPH )
