{"product_id":"king-of-the-city-london-novels-2","title":"King of the City (London Novels 2)","description":"Moorcock's second great London novel - and thematic sequel to MOTHER LONDON - returns to print in a newly revised edition.  The death of Princess Di heralded a spring clean of the soul.  And the  dirt we wanted off our coffee tables was the kind of salacious exposure  tabloid paparazzo photographer Denny Dover had made a fortune out of. Now he's out of work and moving to the godforsaken wastes of Skerring on  the South coast to lick his wounds.  A former rock star, this East End lad-made-good lived it up with the  best of them. But his childhood friend, hugely wealthy magnate Sir John  Barbican-Begg (deceased, allegedly) is resurrecting events from a past  littered with dysfunction and greed, sex, rock and roll and a ton of  drugs.  Denny's life encapsulates the fevered underground of a London  teeming with contradiction and ambivalence, subversion and rage.  Moorcock's hugely entertaining follow-up to his masterpiece MOTHER  LONDON captured the spirit of our age as we staggered into the new  millennium.","brand":"Orion Publishing Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40119493591125,"sku":"9781473213272N","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/32811acc-cb79-4097-bc42-55b8c6de7fa4.jpg?v=1654969391","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/king-of-the-city-london-novels-2","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
