Review:

A sizzlingly paced modern thriller with outbursts of thumpingly sick black humour... It is fast. It is cruel. It is comical. It is vastly entertaining, and not a little disturbing.―NME

This is a black farce with bells on, or Martin Amis as slapstick... very funny and utterly unstoppable.―THE TIMES

A tour-de-force... captures right-wing arrogance magnificently.―SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY

A funny, frightening book, full of powerful, open-hearted material and with a strong line in suspense.―TLS
