King of the city - Michael Moorcock

Moorcock's second great London novel - and thematic sequel to MOTHER LONDON - returns to print in a newly revised edition.

The death of Princess Di heralded a spring clean of the soul.
And the
dirt we wanted off our coffee tables was the kind of salacious exposure
tabloid paparazzo photographer Denny Dover had made a fortune out of.
Now he's out of work and moving to the godforsaken wastes of Skerring on
the South coast to lick his wounds.
A former rock star, this East End lad-made-good lived it up with the
best of them.

But his childhood friend, hugely wealthy magnate Sir John
Barbican-Begg (deceased, allegedly) is resurrecting events from a past
littered with dysfunction and greed, sex, rock and roll and a ton of
drugs.
Denny's life encapsulates the fevered underground of a London
teeming with contradiction and ambivalence, subversion and rage.
Moorcock's hugely entertaining follow-up to his masterpiece MOTHER
LONDON captured the spirit of our age as we staggered into the new
millennium.
