PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
J. J. Connolly was born and brought up in north-east London. His first published story was in the Brit Pulp! anthology. He is the author of the bestselling Layer Cake which he adapted into a film script for Sony Pictures and directed by Michael Vaughn as well as the sequel Viva La Madness.
'One novel in and Connolly has hit the jackpot, jump-started British crime fiction into the present... Like good drug fiction you're given glamour and squalor, a voyeuristic thrill, and the bill.' * Uncut * 'Connolly's style is fast and funny and just frightening enough to make you sit up all night finishing the book.' * Independent on Sunday * 'A storming piece of work... the novel has a grasp of street argot unparalleled since Kinky Friedman first sashayed out of his from door and nailed a checker straight out of the bat.' -- D. J. Taylor
