The Long Firm Trilogy by Jake Arnott
Ranging from the Swinging Sixties to the Raving Nineties and with a cast that includes the machiavellian gangster Harry Starks, politicians, bent coppers, actresses and gutter journalists, Arnott's fictional portrait of cultural change and moral decay is at once sharply funny, relentlessly compelling, and frighteningly real.
PRAISE FOR THE LONG FIRM:
Arnott's ability to powerfully resurrect an era is astonishing * Jimmy Boyle, Guardian *
The evocation of Sixties London is brilliantly done and the powerful, stylish writing hooks the reader from the first page * Mail on Sunday *
PRAISE FOR HE KILLS COPPERS:
Brilliant. . You won't be able to put it down. * Daily Telegraph *
The story and its characters ride perfectly within the setting, to the benefit of both . . . You don't have to be a crime fan to enjoy Arnott's books, you just have to be interested in the lives of ordinary, fallible people. * Independent on Sunday *
PRAISE FOR TRUECRIME:
Sparklingly witty, immensely profound . . . It should be read as a matter of urgency. * Guardian *
Arnott pinpoints with devastating accuracy how today's world leads to the survival of the shallowest. His ear for low-life patois is as sharp as ever and the narrative proceeds at a cracking pace. * The Times *
