Southern Style Marriner, Craig Following on the bloodied heels of the award-winning Stonedogs, Marriner’s second novel burrows below the surface with the London OE set. Its action seethes and boils around a sprawling cast of young antipodeans: Lisa, the lefty, homesick for something she’s never seen and looking for truth in the city of lies; Ryan with nothing to show for two years of overstaying but hangovers and hang-ups; and Alex, management graduate, a trusting jockey on the doped horse of his own career. Who, finally, holds the trump cards? Is is the old underworld, locked in turf wars with the coloured gangs who in turn risk come-uppance from the new mafia of central Europe? Are drugs and violence the golden keys which will unlock the secrets of the here-and-now? Is sex? Adrift in a sea of troubles of their own making and blown off course by the winds of their imagination, Marriner’s explorers from the one-time colonies court shipwreck while in sight of land. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
