Scully is working a fresh seam in the fiction of the inner city, and it will be fascinating to see what he does next.\"  —\u003c\/i\u003eIndependent\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this darkly witty and erotic collection, the Little Moscow is a shady basement bar at the side of the Grand Union canal in Birmingham, stomping ground for thieves, gangsters, and con men—plus some of the city's more glamorous creatures. Blue-skinned Nathan, a hard knock tattoo artist, refuses to pay Crawford's protection racket. Nearby, a refugee from Middle Eastern wars finds a body hanging from a lamppost and becomes entangled with a good time girl called Veronica and an apartment decorated with abstract art. Roles get reversed, debts get claimed and colors collide—while two would-be Andy Warhols make away with incriminating evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tindal Street Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47023654699248,"sku":"9780955138447","price":13.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780955138447_p0.jpg?v=1763874523","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780955138447","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
