About the Book

Jeff and Frank could have a relationship, well sort of. But that would involve talking, talking about Ross the rock star who left Frank to die and who sacked Jeff from his band. Instead of talking maybe it would be better to do something, something like blackmail Ross about the skeletons in his closet ? and who better to pull a blackmail scam than an ex-girl friend and an ex-sax player. Tough and tender, Faithless reflects the cool edginess of London today. Like the London novelists that have preceded him ? Patrick Hamilton, Iain Sinclair, Nick Hornby ? John Williams captures the London of his time: a London where keeping the faith gains you no brownie points.

About the Author :
John Williams was born in Cardiff in 1961. He wrote a punk fanzine and played in bands before moving to London and becoming a journalist, writing for everyone from The Face to the Financial Times. Following Into the Badlands, his book Bloody Valentine, about the Lynette White murder case in the Cardiff docks, provoked a libel action from the police. His novels include the London-set Faithless, and The Cardiff Trilogy. He now lives in Cardiff with his family.

Review :
Punk died - somewhere between Heaven and Charing Cross, between the Circus and the Grove. This wrenching, tragi-comic novel of the shabby, amiable post-punk years - ghostly neon nights long gone, the pubs, clubs and drugs - show how the blank generation became the blank cheque generation, and sank their youth, identity and sense of purpose in a bitter pit of nostalgia. Williams takes the city to its limits An excellent mix of rock and roll, mystery and love story, peopled by the kind of characters I recognise from London nightlife
