A London club full of outrageous characters, spivs, extortionists, con-men \u0026amp; ladies of the night. This contrasts starkly with a rural backwater, where it's all wide lawns and narrow minds. The story is narrated by Jack, a clever (too clever) reporter and his relationship with two brothers, Wyn a womanising con-man and Harry, a professional boxer.Teddy Lewis, an unstable racketeer and Shirley, a gorgeous femme fatale. Shirley twists them all this way and that, in the end she proves to be the catalyst for an ending fitting for a bloodthirsty Greek tragedy.This has all of the elements that the discerning thriller reader craves, betrayal, revenge, older men exploiting a beautiful, under-age girl, a murder or two, convoluted plot twists, powerful \u0026amp; credible characters, dialogue that crackles and a gothic romance. This is literary noir at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68060349497632,"sku":"NEW1471760596","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/518NGewwczL.jpg?v=1793334555","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-gb\/products\/4-bones-sleeping-1471760596","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
