The Crust on Its Uppers by Derek Raymond
A sharp and atmospheric London crime novel combining the criminal underworld, class tension, dark humour and Derek Raymond's distinctive portrayal of life on society's margins.
This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine love of crime fiction, distinctive voices and books that explored society through memorable characters and storytelling. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.
Written by Derek Raymond, The Crust on Its Uppers takes readers into a gritty London world shaped by crime, class and shifting loyalties. Raymond's writing brings together underworld characters and dark humour with a sharp eye for the social divisions surrounding them.
London is central to the novel, with its streets and criminal circles providing the setting for a story concerned not only with crime but with ambition, poverty and the circumstances that shape people's lives.
A distinctive choice for readers of British crime fiction, London noir, literary crime and novels combining underworld stories with social commentary.
