Description

The anonymous hero of Layer Cake is pulled back into the drug game before he can enjoy a sunny retirement. From living the high-life in the Caribbean to a dangerous existence in London, with Venezuelan drug cartels toting machine-guns in Mayfair, the story moves from violence and farce to criminal insanity.

Reviews

'Masterful plotting - double-crosses abound - a cracking pace and some truly excellent set pieces including a chase through the London underground all lead up to a wham-bam ending. Fast, furious, funny and highly recommended for fans of Layer Cake and new readers alike'Guardian

'Connolly's style is fast and funny and just frightening enough to make you sit up all night'Independent on Sunday

'The novel has its predecessor's driving energy and the protagonist's disparate colleagues are terrific characters'The Sunday Times
