The first novel by the bestselling Joseph O'Connor, reissued in Vintage alongside O'Connor's other backlist titles in a striking new style.

The first novel by Joseph O'Connor, bestselling author of Star of the Sea and Shadowplay.

Eddie Virago, proud owner of the last mohican haircut in Dublin, leaves his home town to find the fame and fortune he's convinced awaits in the wild world of the London rock scene.

Things don't quite go as planned, however. He finds himself living in a ramshackle hotel with a girl he met on the ferry over, while a bewildering array of acid-house ravers, saloon-bar revolutionaries, music-business wideboys and media primadonnas all seem very anxious to help Eddie on his way...
