London Irish

By Zane Radcliffe

WINNER OF THE WH SMITH'S PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD New Talent]

There are 750 000 Irish living in London. One of them has to get out. For good...

It is the summer of 1999. Bic (half-Irish half-Scots) is eking out a living selling cr pes to the hordes descending on Greenwich market. With one severed ear two bizarre deaths and the arrest of his dog for civil disobedience Bic's year hasn't exactly been going to plan.

But when raven-haired Roisin takes the stall opposite his things seem to be looking up - if Bic can just get past her over-protective brothers. That is until Bic wakes up the-morning-after-the-night-before in his clothes in Edinburgh to find he's the UK's Most Wanted Man - on the run and with fourteen murders to his name...

Customer Reviews

Dark, Funny, Dark, Fast and Fresh

This book starts off race horse fast and never stops the running. It opens in 1982 with an inexplicable car crash and fades into London, 1999. We met Bic, a displaced Irishman, and his dog, Dunc. They have a humdrum life of selling crepes and drinking pints until a severed ear, an arrest and a beautiful girl come along to change everything.This book has a feel of Bateman from Divorcing Jack but spun round and speeded up. The last few chapters were fast and furious as a gas fire.I loved this book!
