Kuba is a cocaine dealer in the dark, electric streets of Warsaw, believing he is smart enough to stay in control, unlike the top lawyers, doctors, TV personalities who are his client base.
However, after calling in the debt of a failing nightclub owner, breaking his own rules on other people's property and being caught in the consequences of his clients' actions, all control starts to slip from his grasp.
Now suffering under the glare of the spotlight and dragged into the dark underbelly of the drug world, Kuba must find a way through the middle of the whirlwind of violence and betrayal sweeping him away.

I recognise the title of the book even though I've never seen the TV show. I really enjoyed this so I'll probably check out the show at some point. This is very gritty and gripping but it took a few chapters for me to settle into the book. The prose was denser than I expected for the genre but I soon settled into an entertaining read. I don't think I've read any fiction set in Warsaw, not to my knowledge anyway so I enjoyed the setting, which is very vivid and descriptive. The characters are complex and you're never sure who's good and who's bad which is a new one for me. The book uses a first person POV which works really well and brought the book to life for me. I also haven't read a book before when the main character is a drug deal so this was also a new direction for me. I really enjoyed this.
