Synopsis
A man’s corpse is discovered in a London warehouse, bundled into five shopping bags. Our nameless narrator from the Unexplained Deaths division of the Met is put on the case. As he probes a world of horror in South London, a terrible secret from his own past emerges, and he uncovers much more than the murderer. Derek Raymond is the father of British noir and much admired by a new generation of crime writers. He died in 1994.

Review
?A bizarre mixture of Chandleresque elegance... and naked brutality? Daily Telegraph ?Hellishly bleak and moving? New Statesman ?He writes beautifully, and his sincerity cannot be faulted? Evening Standard ?Raymond writes with a stomach-churning exactness about murder, madness and mutilation? The Times ?Superb... an English Chandler... only better? Daily Mail ?A mixture of thin-lipped Chandleresque backchat and of idioms more icily subversive? Observer ?Raw-edged, strong and disturbing stuff? The Scotsman
