Bone in the Throat

Bone in the Throat

by Anthony Bourdain (Author)

Synopsis

All is not well at the Dreadnought Grill . . . the chef has a smack habit, the owner has been set up by the FBI and in the midst of this, the sous-chef Tommy is just trying to do his job. As depraved as it is hilarious, Anthony Bourdain's first novel is street smart and spiced with drugged-up savvy, foul-mouthed feds and salty mob speak. With a cast of unforgettables like the hitman who covers himself in clingfilm to avoid leaving fingerprints and a plot with more twists than a plate of spaghetti, Bone in the Throat rocks through the streets of Manhattan at a blistering pace.

A recipe for a very good read. * * Sunday Telegraph * *
Sharp, funny . . . if it's gangster rap you want to read then Bourdain is your man. * * Express * *
Crime fiction at its tastiest. * * Sunday Herald * *
