The Long Firm Summary

The Long Firm by Jake Arnott

Harry Starks, club owner, racketeer and porn king, is trying to jump the queue into legitimacy. This swinging sixties novel reveals the seedier side of London where the low life met the high life in the city's dark underbelly. The edition ties into the BBC TWO adaptation of the book.

The Long Firm Reviews

One of the smartest, funniest and most original novels you will read all year ... Arnott is quite brilliant at excavating the cultural minutiae of the time to bring the period vividly to life - Independent on Sunday

Truly fascinating ... Arnott's ability to powerfully resurrect an era is astonishing - Guardian

This is pulp fiction so polished as to be immaculate - New Statesman

THE LONG FIRM manages to hook you from the first. It is compulsive reading, powerful writing with an evocative feel for the bleaker side of the Swinging Sixties - The Times

Outstanding ... as smooth as a seersucker suit, as sweet as a purple heart. Suck it and see. - Observer
