Viva la Madness: Old Sins, New Scars

By J.J. Connolly

Book Overview

A blistering novel that catapults London's criminal elite into a global underworld of betrayal, ambition, and high-stakes deception.

In this adrenaline-charged follow-up to the international bestseller Layer Cake, the unnamed narrator-once poised for a quiet retirement in the Caribbean-is pulled back into the game by his old associate Morty.

What begins as a reluctant favor soon escalates into a transatlantic odyssey through the violent corridors of international crime. From London's underworld to the sun-drenched Caribbean and the deadly sophistication of Venezuelan cartels, Viva La Madness is a masterclass in criminal intrigue.

With razor-sharp dialogue, dark humor, and a plot that moves like a bullet train, J.J. Connolly delivers a noir epic of money laundering, drug deals, and digital fraud. This is crime fiction at its most stylish and unrelenting-a modern gangster saga with brains, brawn, and bite.
