Lost in Shadows

Lost in Shadows is set in a London where morality is something that was flushed down the toilet a long time ago. Now, it's mindless violence all the way with just a bit of gratuitous sex thrown in to spice it up. Just what you're looking for? Read on... Tortured by his brutal childhood in rural Ireland, Frankie Doyle makes his living the only way he knows how - violence. Set in the twilight netherworld of London's seedy underbelly in the early years of the twenty-first century, Lost in Shadows tells the story of a psychopathic gangland enforcer in a city where the cops are as dirty as the crooks. A full length novel by the (self-) acclaimed poet and author of vampire fiction Alex O'Connell which leads you on a lightning-paced, rip-roaring roller coaster ride of violence, madness, violence, betrayal, violence, sex, violence, revenge and... well, more violence that runs the entire gamut of human emotions from A to B! What other giants of world literature say about Lost in Shadows: DH Lawrence: Loved it... but a bit too saucy for my tastes! Jane Austen: What a ride! This is the gangster novel I would have written. Frankie Doyle is a psycho Mr Darcy on acid. Only sexier. I swooned. Could do with a bit more violence though... Marcel Proust: OK, so I love the gratuitous thuggery. But what's he done with the vampires and the Filipina nurses? They're what really floats this swinger's boat. Charles Dickens: S'alright, I suppose. Can't expect much from O'Connell.
