Críticas:
"'Layer Cake is a storming piece of work, funny and serious by turns with an abiding sense of conviction... 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, The Guardian; 'Flashed as The Long Firm meets The Sopranos, it knocks the former into a cocked hat, whatever that is, and could easily emulate the latter's success if made into a television series' - Mark Timlin, Independent on Sunday"
Reseña del editor:
A story of one young gangster's attempt to leave the corruption behind him, "Layer Cake" refers to the layers or levels he has to go as he painstakingly plots his own escape. What is revealed is a modern underworld where the rules have changed. There are no 'codes', or 'families' and respect lasts as long as a line. Not knowing who he can trust, our man has to use all his 'savvy', 'telling' and skills which make him one of the best, to escape his own. The ultimate last job, a love interest called Tammy and an international drugs ring, threaten to draw him back into the 'cake mix'. But, time is running out and the penalty will endure a lifetime.
