Speed Freaks, Thugs and Acid Casuals...Manchester lacks not for tourist attractions but Estela isn t interested in sightseeing. Never mind the non-stop jetlag, the miserable weather or her disastrous One Night Stand, this is a business trip. Her prime headache, she s being paid to kill her ex-boss and everyone knows transsexuals have peaceful natures. If there s one thing Estela never understood, it s nostalgia. She s hooked on destiny. But she can t shake the past: old lovers, mad cops and a mountain of amphetimine sulphate. A fast page-turner to rank with the best of them, Acid Casuals puts Manchester in the first division of fiction crime cities.
