Fast-moving debut thriller with a complex web of deceptions. Lots of drugs, good bit of sex and violence — not your average police procedural. I got lost in the plot a couple of times and the outcome surprised me a little, but then I'm not that bright so you'll probably suss it out early on.
Mostly, I read it for the setting. I spent a week in Manchester some years ago — matter of fact, this book had just come out and adverts for it were everywhere, so it went on my TBR list in short order. Depending on what Knox has done since, he could challenge Mandasue Heller as the chronicler-in-chief of Manchester's underground.
