Layer cake (n): a metaphor for the murky layers of the criminal
world. Smooth-talking drug dealer X has a plan to quietly bankroll
enough cash to retire before his thirtieth birthday. Operating
under the polished veneer of a legitimate businessman, his mantra
is to keep a low profile and run a tight operation until it's time
to get out. When kingpin Jimmy Price asks him to find the wayward
daughter of a wealthy socialite who's been running around with a
cokehead, he accepts the job with the promise that after this he
can leave the criminal world behind with Jimmy's blessing. Oh, and
he needs to find a buyer for two million ecstasy pills acquired by
a crew of lowly, loud-mouth gangsters, the Yahoos. Simple enough,
until an assassin named Klaus arrives to scratch him off his list,
revealing this job is much more than it seems at first. From the
glitz of the London club scene of the 1990's to the underbelly of
its criminal world, Layer Cake is the best in British crime
fiction.
