The Long Firm

di Jake Arnott (Autore)

Hodder & Stoughton, 2011

'A gangster novel every bit as cool, stylish and venomous as the London in which it's set' Independent on Sunday ''Compulsive reading, powerful writing with an evocative feel for the bleaker side of the Swinging Sixties' The Times 'I'll tell you what happens now,' Harry says, reading my mind. 'You can go now. We're quits. You don't talk to anybody about anything. You've had a taste of what will happen if you do.' Meet Harry Starks: club owner, racketeer, porn king, sociology graduate and Judy Garland fan. To be in his orbit is to be caught up in the music, the parties, the people and the sex of London in the Swinging Sixties. But behind the rough charm and cheap glamour is a man prepared to do what it takes to get what he wants. 'Gracefully written, diligently and rewardingly researched, it is both exciting and funny. It takes the cliches of the genre and makes them sexy and freshly interesting' Observer 'Truly fascinating . . . Arnott's ability to powerfully resurrect an era is astonishing' Guardian
