About the Author:
Dan Kavanagh was born in County Sligo in 1946. Having devoted his adolescence to truancy, venery and petty theft, he left home at seventeen and signed on as a deckhand on a Liberian tanker. After jumping ship at Montevideo, he roamed across the Americas taking a variety of jobs: he was a steer-wrestler, a waiter-on-roller-skates at a drive-in eatery in Tucson, and a bouncer in a gay bar in San Francisco. He is currently working in London at jobs he declines to specify, and lives in north Islington.
Review:
'Rough, tough, ultra-masculine and rather revolting. No wonder so many (other) people loved them.' LITERARY REVIEW 'FIDDLE CITY is a witty, swift, smart slice of London hardboiled pastiche.' SUNDAY HERALD
