The gripping sequel to the bestselling British crime classic Layer Cake publishing in a new 20th anniversary edition.

Hiding out in the Carribean until the heat dies down from his last job, X thinks it's time to ditch the resort life and calls up his old friend Morty to plot his return to London.

But he's hardly stepped off the plane when his associates, Sonny King and Roy 'Twitchy' Burns, get on the wrong side of a feuding Venezuelan drug cartel on the hunt for a sensitive package. Suddenly he's thrown into a stand-off between rival mobs and with so many players in the game it's a tough job making out who wants to cut him a deal and who's trying to kill him.

Darkly comic, fast-paced and full of twists Viva la Madness is packed with sex, scams, drugs and enough dirty money to fill a few offshore bank accounts.

'Fast, furious and funny.' - Guardian

'Terrific characters.' - Sunday Times

Reviews for Viva La Madness

'Masterful plotting - double-crosses abound - a cracking pace and some truly excellent set pieces including a chase through the London underground all lead up to a wham-bam ending. Fast, furious, funny and highly recommended for fans of Layer Cake and new readers alike' Guardian 'Connolly's style is fast and funny and just frightening enough to make you sit up all night' Independent on Sunday 'The novel has its predecessor's driving energy and the protagonist's disparate colleagues are terrific characters' The Sunday Times
