The Prize (Full Length Novel) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Prague. A stag party, pole dancers, an ambitious porn entrepreneur, a scheming trophy girlfriend, a weary detective and a two million Euro drug deal... Prague police detective Vavrin Moravec is desperate to change his life. When inside information about a major drug deal comes his way, he has some tough choices to make. Choices that could see him step outside the law. Rob is an Englishman on a stag weekend with his pals and former best friend, visiting Prague to celebrate the former best friend's impending marriage to a girl Rob was previously in a relationship with and still loves. Not that the groom-to-be seems to care. He’s knee deep in lap-dancers, booze and drugs. Both worlds collide when the drug deal stumbles into the imploding stag weekend. This is Prague. It could get messy. ‘The Prize’ is a full length novel of 138,000 words containing adult themes. About the author Born in Yorkshire in 1971, Julie O’Neill’s first novel, the comic/erotic 'Insatiable', has become a cult seller, winning praise for its adult humour. 'The Prize' sees O'Neill tackle darker subject matter but with the same vivid style and sly comedy. Of ‘The Prize’ Julie says: ‘Having worked as a pole dancer in Prague for almost two years back in the mid 90s, I always felt that I wanted to write something about the girls I met there and the lifestyle that we shared. I had some great times but it was a tough world. Behind the seedy glamour, what’s not seen is the serious effort that the dancers put in. Have a Cadbury’s Twirl in the afternoon and you’d suffer for it come midnight – some lardy, boozed-up half-wit calling you a bloater because your BMI had shifted by half a point. I hope this book captures something of that twilight world and the characters – the dancers, the punters, the police, the locals and the entire strange menagerie – that I encountered in what is truly one of the world’s great cities.’ Julie’s next novel ‘Swingers’ will be released as a follow up to ‘Insatiable’.
