1st edition. Supernatural horror and social satire mix in this relocation of the Faust legend to contemporary London. As the plot sweeps across the last 30 years, the book captures the mood of each decade: from the swinging 1960s to the materialism of the 1980s.
In 1961, born of filth, Derek Leech emerges fully-formed from the Thames, destined to found an empire which encompasses pop music, Hollywood studios, newspapers, publishing, television. Thousands are trapped in the webs of his businesses and a new city threatens to be born under his dark dominion in London's docklands.
