Story Behind The Book
I wanted to write a novel for a younger generation of readers (the ebook generation perhaps?). There has been no big-selling book on youth culture since The Beach and Trainspotting over 15 years ago!
Club culture has been popular with young people for many years so I thought it was a perfect setting for a crime thriller/murder mystery, incorporating the good and bad aspects of the scene and some colourful characters.
Many of the story strands are based on real events, I just invented characters and narrative to fit the plot, much like Mario Puzo did with The Godfather(He's my biggest inspiration). Some of it is based on my own experience, but not the crime though!
