‘THIS MAN HAVE COME FROM CHINA TO FIND HIS DAUGHTER WHO HAVE SOME TROUBLE. HE DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH’ |
 |
Inspector Jian is a Chinese cop from the Siberian border who thinks he’s seen it all. But his search for his missing daughter brings him to the meanest streets he’s ever faced – in rural England.
Migrant worker East Wind is distressed – his gangmaster’s making demands, he owes a lot of money to the snakeheads and no one will tell him where his wife has been taken. Maybe England isn’t the ‘gold mountain’ he was promised...
Two desperate men, uneasy allies in a baffling foreign land, are pitted against a band of ruthless criminals... there’s BAD TRAFFIC ahead. |
Simon Lewis was born in Wales in 1971. His first novel GO (1999) was published by a small press and then picked up by Corgi. It sold more than 40,000 copies and led Simon into work as a film screenwriter. He currently lives in Brixton and Shanghai. |

PRAISE FOR SIMON LEWIS’S PREVIOUS NOVEL “GO” |
“Drags you halfway around the world and expects you to keep up – but you are happy to do it.” The Observer
“On the first page of Go, you realise you are in for a good read. Lewis blends the pace and disposable wit of Elmore Leonard with Alan Bennettish realism in a satisfyingly rounded plot.” The Times |
