Bone in the Throat

All is not well at the Dreadnought Grill…the chef has a smack habit, the owner has been set up by the FBI and in the midst of this, the sous-chef Tommy is just trying to do his job.As depraved as it is hilarious, Anthony Bourdain’s first novel is street smart and spiced with drugged-up savvy, foul-mouthed feds and salty mob speak.With a cast of unforgettables like the hitman who covers himself in clingfilm to avoid leaving fingerprints and a plot with more twists than a plate of spaghetti, “Bone in the Throat” rocks through the streets of Manhattan at a blistering pace.

Reviews of Bone in the Throat

"* 'Gangster fiction to feast on.' – Independent * 'Raw and cooking. Rare and well-done.' – AA Gill * 'A superb tale of violence and backbiting set in the seething testosterone-heavy company of a crew of New York cooks, and simply towers head, shoulders and upper torso above everything else.' – GQ * 'Wonderful fun, a perfect book to read at the beach.' – Michael Crichton, New York Times Book Review * 'A recipe for a very good read.' – Sunday Telegraph * 'Sharp, funny… if it's gangster rap you want to read then Bourdain is your man.' – Express"
