A mob wife opens a London restaurant, serving a full banquet of mayhem and violence in this “riotously good read” by the author of Acid Casuals (Observer).

They’re opening a new restaurant in London’s posh SoHo district. Susan Ball, a mob wife turned restaurateur, is funding the joint with money she stole from her notorious husband, Frank ‘Ballistic’ Ball. The cook is a former celebrity chef whose insatiable perversions were too hot for TV. And as for the Maitre D, his drug-fueled spiritual journey in Goa has certainly made him more unique, but it hasn’t made him any more trustworthy. This might sound like a recipe for disaster—but that’s just the first course.

‘This black comedy of modern bad manners aims at outrage and hits the bull’s eye every time . . . A must-read” —Val McDermid
