It's the 1960s, baby, and London is experiencing a cultural explosion. Amongst the psychedelic debris lies an underground world of gangsters, pimps, and pornography led by the villainous Harry Starks, a West End racketeer who controls his turf via menace, torture, and his trademark brand of tough love. Told from the point of view of five of Harry's nearest and dearest, which include a kept boy, a deeply closeted member of the House of Commons, a drug addicted thug, a fading porn queen, and a mild-mannered university sociologist gone bad, THE LONG FIRM explores Harry's complex inner and outer worlds. Soon to be adapted as a five-part BBC miniseries and listed as a New York Times Notable Book in 1999.
