Brilliant!

This is an unusual book. It's about a London criminal and how he finds a way out of crime. Alan Mortlock descends into violence, drugs and drink. The author Greg Watts tells the story wit great skill and pace. I read the book in an evening. At the end of it, I felt really inspired. This is one of the best books I have read this year.
