Big Sky - Softcover

Jimmy's turf is a stretch of coast in North-East England where he and his ramshackle crew live comfortably on ill-gotten gains. But the time has come for them to leave these shores and seek anonymity in Spain; only before they can do this, Jimmy must pull off one last scam.

A good man who has to do bad things, Jimmy sings his dirty story like an angel. And why wouldn't he? He's mute.

A rising star in British fiction, in BIG SKY Gareth Creer doffs his cap to James Ellroy, infusing his brutal vision with a Dickensian love for his characters. Combining a thrilling action plot with lyrical prose, this is Creer's most outstanding novel yet.

Praise for CRADLE TO GRAVE:

'Provides some of the best descriptions of drug-driven hedonism presently in circulation. But the novel's real strength lies not in its concession to the underworld conventions fo the urban narrative, but in what it brings to the domestic one.' RA PAGE, The Times

'An edge-of-your-seat read. It gathers pace and twists suspense to an excruciating pitch as failed love drifts into urban nightmare.' LESLEY GLAISTER
