She knows she will be murdered. She believes she has chosen the man who will do it. Samson Young arrives in 1980s London ill, broke, and determined to write one last novel. In a decaying city thick with corruption and appetite, he meets Nicola Six, a woman who is certain she will be killed on her thirty-fifth birthday. Nicola is convinced the murderer will be one of two men already orbiting her. Keith Talent, volatile and reckless, and Guy Clinch, wealthy and na???ve, are drawn into her confidence and her manipulation. She tests them both, as if narrowing the field. Samson inserts himself into Nicola's circle, observing her calculation and encouraging the drama. Convinced he is documenting fate rather than shaping it, he begins to depend on the murder for the meaning of his book. 'A true story, a murder story, a love story and a thriller bursting with humour, sex and often dazzling language' Independent

If anyone was at doubt about Amis as a novelist of incredible talent, this book should quell their thoughts. Amis is a master of 'black humor' which I find thoroughtly entertaining. The story line, the titles he gives to his characters and that inside look into everyone's thoughts and their patterns is genious. Nicola Six wants to take her dance with death her way as the murderee, meanwhile manipulating the 3 men involved in her scheme. However, only one man knows this and he becomes her murderer, and at last the choice is revealed. A highly entertaining book, this lead to many more ie. Times Arrow , The InFormation, Yellow Dog and most recently, The House of Meetings. Also his exegesis found in every novel about space and time is very 'right' for Amis.
