Cocaine Eyes is a stark piece of modern noir.
It is structured as a series of relentless, gritty vignettes that collectively offer an insightful, unforgiving view of London's dark underbelly and criminal compromises.
This is hard-boiled fiction and delivered at quite a pace.
Keenaghan's prose is authentic and direct, capturing the harsh vernacular and brutal atmosphere of the city’s marginalized fringes.
For readers prepared for a dark descent, Cocaine Eyes is a raw, propulsive, and essential new voice in contemporary crime writing.

Really enjoyed this book. The writing is interesting, strong and authentic. Pretty powerful and hard-hitting in places. It's up there with the author's other two books. Looking forward to more.
