Marcus van Heller, author of such world-famous classics as Kidnap, The House of Borgia, and Roman Orgy, now sets his sights on the vicious traffic in black-market drugs and the innocent lives ruined by lust and greed. Cruel Lips is the startling expose of the seamy side of London which tourists and royalty seldom ever see-a dead end where love is sold on street corners and death is commonplace. This is a work of extraordinary power by one of England's best-known writers.
