London Fields (Paperback, Reissue)

Into squalid London, on the brink of the millennium, flies American writer Samson Young, who sees a murder story and its characters right under his nose. Complex, powerful and grotesquely comic. (Kirkus UK)

There is a murderer, there is a murderee, and there is a foil. Everyone is always out there searching for someone and something, usually for a lover, usually for love. And this is a love story. But the murderee - Nicola Six - is searching for something and someone else: her murderer. She knows the time, she knows the place, she knows the motive, she knows the means. She just doesn't know the man. London Fields is a brilliant, funny and multi-layered novel. It is a book in which the narrator, Samson Young, enters the Black Cross, a thoroughly undesirable public house, and finds the main players of his drama assembled, just waiting to begin. It's a gift of a story from real life-all Samson has to do is write it as it happens.
