Francesca Reece
"Sleaze is irrepressible and original, a blisteringly wild ride, and a caper like no other--it's utterly futile to resist its charms." --Sophie Mackintosh, author of Permanence
Mari—a raffish freelancer with a penchant for martinis, gossip, and men of less than sterling character—has a problem. Jean-Michel, her fling from the previous night, didn't wake up in the morning. And when his femme fatale widow comes knocking, insisting her no-good husband was murdered, Mari finds herself pressed into the role of reluctant gumshoe.
With the help of her friends, fellow émigrés and inveterate reprobates, Mari begins a desultory dive into Jean-Michel's recent—shady—dealings. As Mari warms to her new character of amateur sleuth, she stumbles upon a sinister conspiracy involving an exclusive wellness retreat, guerrilla activists, and a narcotics sting.
Meanwhile, the Mediterranean city where Mari lives is electrified by an escalating series of politically charged kidnappings. And as this web of power, influence, and collusion grows even more tangled, Mari is forced to reckon with her long-buried feelings for her best friend, who might be more tied up in the Jean-Michel affair than he'd like to admit. Through Mari’s dissolute, gimlet-eyed gaze, Francesca Reece delivers an irrepressible, hilarious, virtuosic homage to the classic caper.

Kritikerröster
"Taut with suspense and unspooling with sparkling wit, Sleaze is a very pleasurable book." --Ayşegül Savaş, author of The Anthropologists
"Sleaze is irrepressible and original, a blisteringly wild ride, and a caper like no other--it's utterly futile to resist its charms. . . Salty, deliciously sharp, and laced with inimitable panache, Reece is writing with unstoppable verve; she's truly one of a kind." --Sophie Mackintosh, author of Permanence
"Sleaze is that exceedingly rare book where nothing is dull, where every atom is charged with hilarious energy. The crazy thing is that for all its fun, all its salty treats and smarmy extras, Sleaze will leave you with a little extra courage to face a filthy world." --Julia Langbein, author of Dear Monica Lewinsky
“A sexy, sophisticated literary thrill-ride, impeccably well observed, outrageously and loveably voiced. You’ll want to read Sleaze fast for its compulsive, suspenseful plot, but you’ll end up reading it slowly because Reece’s prose is just so damn good.” --Luke Kennard, author of Black Bag
"A briny, zesty caper that is sharp enough to cut you. Funny, romantic and so smart. I gulped it down like a cold drink on a hot day." --Sarvat Hasin, author of Strange Girls
"Wickedly entertaining . . . the perfect subversive summer read" --John Tottenham, author of Service
"Sleaze is sizzling, dark, funny and wild. A fever dream of olive trees, cold water, bitter martinis and cigarette smoke, seething with sex, drugs, beauty and danger. Francesca Reece explores political unrest and corruption with verve and bite - I read it compulsively." --Jessica Andrews, author of Saltwater
