"A cracker of a novel . . . superbly edgy writing and terrific humour."The Times (London)
Ex-PI Robin Llywelyn wakes up handcuffed to a hospice bed, full of morphine and with a fading memory as the cancer closes in. Unfortunately, he leaves a lot of loose ends. Prosecuted for crimes he can't remember committing and pursued by cops and criminals alike, he discovers that a hidden fortune is waiting. Llywelyn's last case sees him in a race against the reaper to score the final haul.
Robert Lewis' previous books include The Last Llanelli Train and The Swansea Terminal.
Review
"Relentlessly bleak, mordantly funny, and occasionally noirish, Lewiswrites brilliantly" -
Booklist"Bleakly funny, with a spectacularly flawed hero and a peculiarly uplifting (if gory) ending, Bank of the Black Sheep is a fitting conclusion to a sequence best described as extreme noir" -Guardian
"Llewellyn is the real deal... Lewis' coruscating analysis of underclass, underfoot, outcast Britain is uncomfortable and challenging" - Financial Times
"Robert Lewis' splendid creation Robin Llywelyn is a private eye of unsurpassed disintegration... a cracker of a novel... fizzy dialogue, superbly edgy writing and terrific humour" - The Times
Synopsis
A mordantly funny conclusion to Robert Lewis' critically acclaimed Robin Llywelyn Trilogy.
