Transit — Lana Citron

Ed has had enough. Sal betrayed him once too often with Rob, her ex-boyfriend. So he killed her. To save her from herself. Determined to exact his warped revenge 'in memory of Sal who couldn't say no', Ed finds himself trying to cross town at 2am on Valentine's day, the day of Rob's wedding, accompanied by a prostitute called Angel and a cabless Russian cab driver called Fisher. Full of bizarrely recognizable characters from the emotional twilight, and illustrated with Ed's own photographs of the journey, TRANSIT is a road novel of the heart - albeit one in need of a bypass. Travelling by pizza-scooter and nightbus, Citron takes us through the sexy sleaze (and sleazy sex) of the city at night, in her most original and exciting novel yet.
