In the company of this unorthodox, magnetically compelling character, cult writer Esther Garcia Llovet takes us on a breath-taking, high-speed, anarchic romp through the underbelly of the pearl of the Costa Brava, Benidorm, on the hunt for Reggie Kray's stolen cigarette lighter.  Beyond the sunburn and all-day fry-ups, in casinos, bars that are fronts for money laundering and flashy high society parties, we meet an unforgettable cast of characters: English gangsters, Russian mafiosi, chancers, no-hopers, and low-life of all complexions in this unconventional yet literary thriller. With a turn of phrase that always astonishes, an eye for detail that is as forensic as it is cinematic, a sense of humour as dry as a glass of fino, and a wilful desire to break conventional genres, Llovet's book feels like the best of Almodovar in surreal, novel form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From The Madding Crowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46335447695619,"sku":"9781738446384","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/3207\/4914\/files\/9781738446384_65a78fcb-b799-4109-a077-e2ec510fc6da.jpg?v=1741603828","url":"https:\/\/www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.live\/products\/9781738446384","provider":"Far From The Madding Crowd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
