Reviewer: Rob Innis
'Doubtless from snippets of the early film I had preconceptions of the Mods and Rockers era - but the book is set pre WW2 Brighton, which I know well, and so is earlier than the film script. Greene builds the tension as Pinkie takes control of events and deals out the justice as he sees fit - often at odds with his own gang, whilst the action moves around Brighton town centre and surrounding areas. The pace is fast as the plot moves on and gets more complicated as Pinkie seems to create more problems for himself as Ida gets increasingly involved searching for justice and the truth. Although some of the grammar seems dated, Greene keeps the images of Brighton vivid, the mood suitably dark and seedy, and builds the characters well. Is justice done? Well you won''t know until virtually the last page by which time you will have had a few surprises. I enjoyed it. '
