The Riot Act by Jon Stock
When street-fighting anarchist Dutchie's New Age girlfriend is killed by a bomb blast in Oxford Street, he vows revenge. But how can he track down the terrorists responsible, especially when they're posing as foreign exchange dealers in the City? The only way of getting inside and to the heart of things, is for Dutchie to clean up his act, and for the dreadlocked class warrior to become a city-slicker. The Riot Act is a fast paced tale of mayhem and revenge, featuring protestors, yuppies, killers and spies. This thriller for the late nineties heralds an engaging new voice in British crime fiction.
?The most off-beat hero of the year is a fully-fledged street-fighting anarchist..violently politically correct and amoral, but written with real power? Daily Telegraph ?An exciting talent? Val McDermid Short-listed for the John Creasey Memorial Dagger
