Book excerpt: The renowned author explores the modern world of international crime in this “stunningly original . . . utterly mesmerizing” sequel to Layer Cake (Booklist). J.J. Connolly made crime fiction history with his acclaimed debut novel Layer Cake, which he adapted into a cult classic film starring Daniel Craig and Sienna Miller. Now Connolly continues the story of his anonymous hero in a novel that once again combines razor-sharp dialogue and quick-fire violence with a deep knowledge of criminal pathos. From the London underworld, Viva la Madness moves to international crime with trans-Atlantic drug deals, money laundering, and high-tech electronic fraud. In a dazzling combination of London low-life, Caribbean high-life, and Venezuelan drug cartels toting machine-guns in Mayfair, our hero's voice and mission are authentic, thrilling, and whiplash-inducing in equal shares.
