An elaborate cat-and-mouse game between lawman Edward Montgomery and criminal Fay Burgess, coloured with the personal history that the two have with each other as childhood friends and romantic partners. Ed and Fay's rivalry involves the vicious gangs of Enamy. The powerful debut from a rich new literary voice explores among the idea of soulmates as not just partners but as arch nemeses pondering why they cannot seem to let each other go. Deeply moving the city of Enamy is always surreal, but steadily develops into a campy, flair-driven world associated with film noir.
