A proposito di questo titolo

It is the fierce English summer of 1976 and the Punk movement is on the rise.

'Chaos' is the catch cry down in its heartland at the World's End of London, and Detective Briony Williams wryly observes that though 'they stick pins in themselves, wear leather masks and insult the Queen', most of this is not against the law. But things take a darker turn as a new group calling itself ‘Sudden Deff’ shows signs of wanting to live up to its name.

When Briony learns that she and her colleagues have appeared on 'Deff Row' in the group's fanzine, she is drawn into a fatal game with adversaries who always seem to be two moves ahead. And when Sharon, a young runaway, moves into a squat with her new punk mates, she enters a sinister world and unknowingly puts her own life in danger.

Can Briony uncover the leader Sudden Deff before anyone comes to harm? Or will she be too late to stop chaos from being unleashed?

Recensioni editoriali

Jane Goodall’s third Briony Williams page-turner, The Calling, set during the height of London’s punk movement in 1976, finds Briony, newly promoted to detective with the Chelsea CID, and her colleagues pitted against sinister anarcho-rockers Sudden Deff, whose volatile and nihilistic antics seem to translate as well off stage as on.

Nicki Paull displays dizzying range with her elastic performance, capturing punk rock sneers and exaggerated Manchester lilts with equal aplomb in this gripping listen.

Recensioni della critica

'A wonderful selection of mostly British characters awaits you in this story of London in the 1970s. A punk band that attracts large crowds with its fiery displays publishes a fanzine with pictures of police officers marked for death. When her beloved commander is attacked, Inspector Briony Williams (also targeted) investigates. Nicki Paull does all the voices--the Scottish commander, band members, two female hangers-on, an American journalist--with individuality and assuredness. As Briony herself-feisty in her job but vulnerable romantically-Paull is not afraid to emote. She keeps three intertwining plots going until they culminate in a tension-filled conclusion. A stand-out Australian production.' (AudioFile Magazine)
