A fast paced really exciting crime thriller. Authentic locations in London and Spain add to the realism. The author has a real talent for writing authentic sounding dialogue and for writing dialects.

In a fast moving, noir, crime novel, Sir Alex Bolton may become the next British Prime Minister. As the story begins, he's with an exotic dancer who is providing one of his sexual fantasies. Only later does he learn that this is part of a blackmail scheme.
The dancer and her boyfriend bring the photos to a woman named Mona. She learned of the politician's fetish by sneaking a look into the files of a lesbian shrink she was having a sexual encounter with.
In a world dominated by evil people and former cons, we learn that the dancer's husband just made a deal to get out of jail by ratting on his friends. Now these men have a grudge against him, Joey, and take action to even a score.
The author, Nick Sweet, has written a story with a realistic setting. The story is imaginative and has a unique plot. However, I had to shake my head at some of the action also, some of the sex was a bit too explicit for me.
I think that readers of noir crime novels would enjoy this book.
