Former rock singer Hollis Henry has lost a lot of money in the crash which means she cant turn down the offer of a job from Hubertus Bigend sinister Belgian proprietor of mysterious ad agency Blue Ant. Milgrim is working for Bigend too. Bigend admires the ex-addicts linguistic skills and street knowledge so much that hes even paid for his costly rehab. So together Hollis and Milgrim are at the front line of Bigends attempts to get a slice of the military budget and they gradually realize he has some very dangerous competitors. Which is not a great thought when you dont much trust your boss either. Gibsons new novel set largely in London spookily captures the paranoia and fear of our post-Crash times.
