About
The murderee is Nicola Six, a "black hole" of sex and self-loathing who is intent on orchestrating her own extinction. The murderer may be Keith Talent, a violent lowlife whose only passions are pornography and darts; or the rich, honorable, and dimly romantic Guy Clinch. As Nicola leads her suitors towards the precipice, London-and, indeed, the whole world-seems to shamble after them in a corrosively funny novel of complexity and morality.

Reviews
"A cunning suspense tale of physical and psychic mayhem…a darkly comic liebestod…Another caustic portrayal of human desires…this time heightened by a more deeply sinister and squalid atmosphere."
Booklist
"Relentlessly bitter, often brutally funny, hypnotically readable, it may also be quite opaque in places to an American readership."
