J. J. Connolly the favorite voice of London gangster fiction
returns with a tour de force: the Get Carter of the noughties,
"Layer Cake" has also been made into a highly-praised film by
Matthew Vaughn, starring Daniel Craig and Sienna Miller (it's also
the most shoplifted book in England). Now Connolly is back with a
sequel that sees him on the same stunning form, with his trademark
razor-sharp dialogue and quick-fire violence, but also finding dark
humor and pathos in the lives of violent men. From the London
underworld, Viva la Madness moves to international crime with
trans-Atlantic drug deals, money laundering, and high-tech
electronic fraud, portrayed with the same uncanny believability.
The anonymous hero of "Layer Cake" is pulled back into the drug
game before he can escape to a sunny retirement. In a dazzling
combination of London low-life, Caribbean high-life, and Venezuelan
drug cartels toting machine-guns in Mayfair, our hero's voice and
mission are authentic, thrilling, and whiplash-inducing in equal
shares.
