Welcome to the City. A place where Salvation is a large neon sign and stuth is as flamable as an acrylic sun frock. Meet Kiki, the self style-styled evangelist on a mission from God; her son and his lover, James, who'll sell their souls for an incriminating photograph; the Reverend, a former child molester and the current Investment Manager for the Church of the Second Coming; Sir Jonathon, a corrupt MP; Tosio Iwata, would-be purchaser of a large piece of fiberglass fruit; journalist Ray Montego, who has lucked onto the biggest story of his life; and the sisters of the transglobal Lesbian coalition, plotting to end the spectre of patriarchal domination with a tasteful collection of exploding raffia hats. This novel is high-camp film noir; written for those who like their humour rich and black, weaving together events to form a lurid tabloid of off-the-wall characters in a city where to much religion and intrigue is barely enough.
