Synopsis

Estela, who used to be Paul but has just had the operation, returns to Manchester on a business trip. The business - to kill her ex-boss, a club owner and money launderer - entails encounters with a whole posse of Mancunian lowlifes, dodgy bouncers, bent coppers, Moss Side gangsters, DJs and all kinds of drugs and sex. The dialogue is sharp, the setting realistically slimy, the action well over the top.

Media Reviews
?A hard-hitting British hit job... the new face of British crime? Time Out ?Best debut crime novel of the year... Bleakly comic and highly inventive. Will do nothing for Manchester?s new image? Daily Telegraph ?Written with a confidence and a power rare in a first novel... the dialogue is sharp and mega-hip; and Blincoe manages to make his main cast not only believable but ultimately sad and sympathetic? The Times
