"Let
me tell you about my day so far. I’ll begin by telling you
about waking up in my Marbella villa to find a dead girl in
my bed; about being interrogated by the Spanish police – or
hombres purporting to be the Spanish police; about learning
that I’m going to have my kneecaps shattered by the
former Chief of Staff of the Provisional IRA. That is, if he can
find me before the godfather of the Andalucian Russian mafia
hunts me down. And not only that; it’s not yet ten o’clock
and I’ve taken up smoking and have drunk half a bottle of
brandy before I’ve even had breakfast." Richie Malone is
an old-school philanderer, misogynistic playboy and writer with an
undeniable charm. Although he has yet to pen anything to attract
literary acclaim using his own name, he has made a fortune writing
pornographic novels under a female pseudonym. But now his troubles
are just beginning. He needs answers, and he needs them fast. Just
who is this dead girl? How did she get here? And why his bed? And, of
course, did he kill her? Malone finds himself caught in the middle of
a turf war between Irish racketeers, the Russian Mafia and a
Columbian cartel. And so, he loses the plot. But can he get it back
before he loses everything … including his life?
