- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Gangsters divorced over time from he superficial glamour magazine f the Swinging Sixties, updated to a loved up drug and celebrity culture ruled '90s. Lights in tone than the previous books of the trilogy, it does manage to tie up at lot of loose ends, albeit a bit tidily...
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I enjoyed reading this book. It is really 3 separate stories that loosely come together. Its the 3rd and final book in the Harry Starks trilogy. This book is set in the mid 1990s when a new government and technology is about to change the UK. Easy to read book with a host of characters good and bad.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The first book by him I've read. Not bad. I rattled through it in a couple of days. It wittily references Lock Stock, Loaded magazine, Guy Ritchie, the Range Rover murders, Leah Betts and much more. Nothing special but worth a read if you fancy some enjoyable tosh.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The third book in the Harry Starks Trilogy (following on from THE LONG FIRM and HE KILLS COPPERS), and the by now the ‘antihero’ is little more than a spectre that haunts his old collegues. The plot splits three ways, following familiar characters as the recent media obsession with gangster notoriety is explored. The strength of the characterisation carry the readers interest past a slighty flimsy plot.
