'Whenever Jake Arnott's got a new book out, I drop everything knowing that the next couple of hours are going to be pure gangland bliss.' DAVID BOWIE Ranging from the Swinging Sixties to the Raving Nineties and with a cast that includes Machiavellian gangsters, politicians, bent coppers, actresses and gutter journalists, Jake Arnott's classic trilogy is at once sharply funny, relentlessly compelling, and frighteningly real. THE LONG FIRM is the cult bestseller that launched Jake Arnott as one of the most exciting new voices of the decade: 'A gangster novel every bit as cool, stylish and venomous as the London in which it's set' (Independent on Sunday) HE KILLS COPPERS is a 'mesmerizing, brilliant' (New York Times Book Review) literary thriller that delves into corruption on both sides of the law and at the heart of the state. TRUECRIME is a blistering take on Cool Britannia and London's underbelly in the 1990s, and 'the most expansive, ironical and funny novel of the series' (Daily Telegraph)

It's thirty years since Harry Starks and his gang kept the underworld of Soho under control but the consequences of their brutal reign are still being felt. Julie McCluskey, the actress daughter of one of Starks' victims, has grown up without a father and now that she's discovered it was money from her father's murderers that put her through drama school, she's furious. Furious with her mother for accepting it, but even more furious with Harry Starks - and she's decided she wants revenge. Tony Meehan, journalist and part-time murderer ('I've only killed three') has added another occupation to his list: he's ghostwriting the autobiography of one of the Bullion Job (Brinks Mat) gang, a robbery in which Starks was also involved, and the gold's still missing. And then there's Gaz, who worked for Starks' rival Beardsley in the 80s and is now running bouncers, taking too many drugs, and playing a very dangerous game. Moving his focus on to the greedy 80s and the rave scene of the 90s, Arnott delivers another hard-edged, riveting, brilliant novel that will delight his many admirers and win him more.

'A work of dazzling imagination and linguistic inventiveness' Observer Newgate Gaol, 1726. An anonymous writer sets down the words of Edgworth Bess as she confides the adventures and misfortunes that led her all too soon to the judgement of London: Cruelly deceived, Bess is cast out onto the streets of the wicked city - and by nightfall her ruin is already certain. What matters now is her survival of it. In that dangerous underworld known in thieves' cant as Romeville, she will learn new tricks and trades. And all begins with her fateful meeting, that very first night, with the corrupt thief-taker general Jonathan Wild. But it is the infamous gaol-breaker, Jack Sheppard, who will lay Romeville at her feet . . . Drawing on the true story that mesmerised eighteenth-century society, the acclaimed author of The Long Firm delivers a tour de force: a riveting, artful tale of crime and rough justice, love and betrayal. Rich in the street slang of the era, it vividly conjures up a murky world of illicit dens and molly-houses; a world where life was lived on the edge, in the shadow of that fatal tree - the gallows.
