FAKES is a captivating tale of intrigue and crime set in the vibrant Liverpool of the 1970s. This story is brought to life by a rich cast of characters, each with their unique personalities and motivations. The energy, suspense, and comedy of the film are driven by the engaging dialogue of the key players as they become entangled in the chaotic circumstances surrounding the sale and whereabouts of a stolen baroque painting purchased with missing drugs money.

Among the characters, we meet a redundant bedspring fitter who has reinvented himself as a "Private Eye." An art-connoisseur drug dealer. The redoubtable Detective Inspector Crust.

FAKES is a testament to Vincent McInerney's talent as a storyteller and his ability to create a vivid and immersive world that keeps the reader engaged from beginning to end. Whether you're a fan of crime fiction or simply looking for a compelling story, FAKES is a must-read.
