'This novel is set in the world of modelling, but it is much more than fantasy fulfilment for wannabe catwalkers. It is an intelligent murder mystery with a realistic sense of how exploitative the fashion industry can be ... This is a book about friendship, falling in love, corrupt old men who mistreat young girls and, memorably, London: it is full of detail of real places - street markets, trendy watering holes, gangland haunts, Thameside beaches and arts venues. And the book is peopled, like the city, with characters of spectacular variety: black, white and mixed race, high-living, low-living, politicised, apathetic, ugly and beautiful.'
