With him, he carries two huge diamonds.From his prison cell in London, Garvey recounts his horrific and thrilling ordeal. Young Tommy Thomson must transcribe Garvey's story and only he can unpick fact from fiction amidst the extraordinary mysteries of the Garvey case.'Piñol is possessed of an exceptional, fecund and devious imagination.'David Mitchell'Going into that realm of hyperbolic fabulation where Umberto Eco has long made safari, this marks Piñol's emergence as a significant European writer.'Giles Poden, Guardian'Full of sci-fi happenings and tall tales, this sparky romp is addictive.'Financial Times
