Adrian P. Conway is economical with his words but creates a big story. And I rather think this is just an acorn from which a mighty oak will one day grow.
Adjusting a template that once held Romeo And Juliet and Graham Greene's iconic Brighton Rock the author introduces Meteor.
The setting is the urban jungle of London. On these tough London estates you are either a gang member or a victim. There's not much in between.
The author creates a bleak, black and white landscape until Meteor finds Jaycee, and then fine, elegant brushstrokes introduces them to the vibrant colours of Tate Britain. There's great skill in the literary technique: from Urban or Jamaican patois, to the profundity of tears spilled as pleasure boats passby, and the chilling inevitably of the denouement. A writer on the cusp of greatness.
