Synopsis
Jon Bennet works for the Tattooed Man. He's an ideal employee: efficient, conscientious, and utterly loyal to the man for whom he kills. It is an existence that encourages solitariness, which Jon has cultivated, until he encounters Andy and Cathy, old friends from school, now married with a child.

Review
“Neil Cross applies a sharp satirical gaze to inarticulate male working-class culture. . . . Cross’s portrayal of male friendship, the rituals of working-class life and the shock of bereavement is superbly done.” —The Observer
“The precision of thought, psychological scope and massive inner crises [Jon Bennet] goes through as his friend is dragged deeper down justifies the hype around this first novel.” —Esquire
“A tightly written thriller that starts out dirty-realist and violent and then modulates into something rather different and thought-provoking, philosophical . . . Bleak, dark, with a distinctly modern-gothic imagination, and certainly readable.” —The Literary Review
“Cross’s first novel displays a subtle mind grappling with a thrilling tale of perverse redemption.” —The Independent on Sunday
