This Ragged, Wastrel Thing

BOOK ONE OF THE SONAYA NIGHTS TRILOGY

After serving eleven years in The Heights for the murder of his childhood sweetheart, one-eared vagabond Daganae Kawasaki is finally free. But beneath the neon glare of a sprawling Sonaya, he soon discovers the backstreets are bursting with strange new shadows. Confronting plucky street orphans, bitter biker girls and down-and-out expats, Dag is swiftly embroiled in a fresh homicide case and finds his murky past isn't done with him yet.

"I really enjoyed This Ragged, Wastrel Thing a dystopian noir set in gloomy, booze-drenched streets crawling with scoundrels. Tomas Marcantonio's writing is slick and intoxicating."
Adrian J Walker - Author of The End Of The World Running Club

"This Ragged, Wastrel Thing is alive with colour, energy and vibrant language. Marcantonio possesses the rare ability of enticing the reader to turn the page, not only to discover what happens next, but to experience yet another visceral and original turn of phrase. A beautifully vicious read."
Adam Lock - Author of Dinosaur

"This Ragged, Wastrel Thing is a neon distorted, gritty reflection of humanity and its quest to find belonging dystopian novels haven't had it this good since Margaret Atwood's The Handmaids Tale."
Ross Jeffery - Author of Juniper and Tethered

"A cinematic and theatrical neo-noir painting dripping old-school masters of the genre on to a new canvas using rare concentrated pigments. With beautifully rich backdrops, scenes and characters it's a real treat for the imagined senses."
John Bowie - Author of Untethered

"A beautiful mash up of grim noir and Japanese flare with a beating heart of motorhead vigilantes. Sons of Anarchy meets Sin City."
