City of Tiny Lights Zusammenfassung

City of Tiny Lights Patrick Neate

***Now a film starring Riz Ahmed, Billie Piper, James Floyd, Cush Jumbo, Roshan Seth and Antonio Aakeel***


Meet Tommy Akhtar, Ugandan Asian cricket fan, devoted son, and not very successful private investigator with offices over his brother Gundappa's mini-cab firm in deepest West London.
He's just woken up from his hangover (combing the parting on his tongue) when his next case comes through the door. It looks like just another investigation when hooker Melody comes into his office asking him to find her co-worker, Natasha, last seen meeting new client at a bar in Shepherd's Market.

But as the search for Natasha intensifies, Tommy's world becomes increasingly sinister. He is drawn into a murder investigation, the criminal underworld, the world of fundamentalist religion and maybe even terrorist activities. Neate brilliantly explores the oddball underbelly and wierd cultural mix of London - The City of Tiny Lights - today and questions just what it really means to be British now. . .

City of Tiny Lights Bewertungen

Cool, slick and funny ... a delightfully mischievous tweaking of the downbeat, hungover gumshoe. Terrific * Independent *
A rollicking detective story ... keeps you guessing until the last page * Red *
A rare treat in a thriller ... A surprisingly touching book that demands at least one sequel * Daily Express *
In getting to the heart of the tensions that run through London's streets, City of Tiny Lights reimagines the modern city afresh * Metro *
A spry, ambitious thriller * Time Out *
Neate's books have a sparky loquacity that is funny and inventive * New Statesman *
