About This Item
New York: Soho Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2002. First US Edition. Hardcover. Protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. Pale gray boards with red spine imprinted in silver with title and author. Full number line 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. . . 340 pages. A chance encounter in broad daylight. Three London policemen pull over a car and are gunned down. A number of people are irrevocably affected. Sid, a tabloid journalist who himself harbors more lurid personal scandal than anyone he condemns in print. Detective Sergeant Frank Taylor, officially on the rapid promotion track but increasingly conflicted about his identity as a cop and the hidden corruption in the department. Ex-soldier Billy Porter, who has drifted into a life of crime and onto the rapid track to perdition. His violent skills for survival are all he has. He is immensely sympathetic, and a killer. Like Puzo and Robert Daily before him, Jake Arnott finds in the private realities of marginalized, desperate people, a longing for redemption that transforms their discontent into the forces and truths that underlie our lives. .
