Synopsis/blurb………
From the author of
best-selling THE FIX, comes another chapter in Konstantin Boryakov’s life, the
enigmatic tramp who claims to be ex-KGB and in hiding. A man with a dark past
and a darker future.
Fidelity Brown has a
problem. She owes a local up and coming hard man cash, lots of it. Cash she
doesn’t have because her night job – a dildo wielding, rubber clad dominatrix
going by the name of Plastic Fantastic – isn’t paying enough yet.
But Fidelity thinks
she knows someone who can help her…
All Konstantin
Boryakov wants is to be left alone. Cast out by the organisation that had
nurtured and trained him Konstantin is a man without purpose, that is until
Fidelity comes knocking on his door.
Cue double dealing,
kidnap and revenge as Konstantin rises again.
Praise for Keith
Nixon’s Work:
'With a brilliant
cast of madcap characters strapped tightly in, THE FIX hurtles along at a
cracking pace. A hugely enjoyable debut novel from Keith Nixon.'
Ian Ayris, author of
Abide With Me
'Moves faster than a
speeding bullet. Can't wait for more from Keith Nixon.'
Tony Black, author of
Murder Mile
Boom, crash, bang, wallop! Loved it!
An enigmatic ex-KGB Russian called Konstantin is trying to
fashion a life of sorts for himself in run-down Margate. Felicity, a working
girl with a bag full of sex aids and the moniker of Plastic Fantastic tries to
enlist Konstantin as she endeavours to dig her way out of a hole – she owes
cash to a local criminal.
Short, sharp, action-packed, funny and with one of the most
interesting leads I’ve encountered in my reading this year. A grimy run down
south coast seaside town is the setting for our Russian encounter with low
level criminals, dodgy politicians, seedy nightlife and our damaged dominatrix.
Gritty, grimy, slimy, dirty, edgy, but with a heart!
Plastic Fantastic
is the second Konstantin novella after Dream Land.
Dream Land was read and enjoyed earlier this year. Fat Gary – which I will be reading soon is the third. (Already have
at time of posting this!)
Nixon has released all seven Konstantin episodes in Russian Roulette - something which is
already close to the top of the November must-read pile.
Mr Nixon is fast becoming one of my favourite UK crime
fiction authors. His website is here.

Bought earlier this year on Amazon for kindle.
As you say to me sometimes - love your enthusiasm, but probably won't share it. I think if I found pictures for my blog of the dominatrix they might be x-rated....
ReplyDeleteMight gain you a whole new audience Moira! But no problem - I do really like his style and content, but its fair to say this may be one where our tastes diverge. We'll see if Fat Gary is your cup of tea!
DeleteCol - This does sound exactly up your street. I think mine's just a street or two over, though, I'm afraid... Still, glad you enjoyed this so much!
ReplyDeleteHaha - same town though! Thanks
DeleteCol, your enthusiasm is almost infectious! I don't know how many Kindle ebooks I'm going to end up with.
ReplyDeletePrashant - I think you need to give in gracefully and embrace your inner crazy reader!
DeleteGlen bought a copy of Dreamland so I may be reading it sometime. Glad you are enjoying these novellas so much.
ReplyDeleteTracy cheers. I'm looking forward to seeing how Glen gets on.......then you!
DeleteHe also went and bought Russian Roulette after I told him about it. It will be interesting to try some of the stories.
DeleteExcellent, I hope you both enjoy a trip to a run-down English seaside resort!
