Moon Beach is where you go to die, a place where the dead are displayed under marquees and even the sea is dotted with gravestones. Once a year the city observes the Day of the Dead, when celebrants eat marzipan skulls and paint themselves blue to match the corpses on the ocean floor. In Moon Beach, Nathan Christie is an anomaly: he saves people from drowning. In Moon Beach, Jed Morgan is in his element, following a career that takes him from blackmail to commissioned murder. And Moon Beach is where these two young men become the fascinated servants of Neville Creed, an omnipotent enterpreneur of death, whose private passions are intimately entwined with his vocation. At once vivid and surreal, The Five Gates of Hell is a sublime thriller: dark, sophisticated, and riveting, shot through with violence, sex, and doom, a triumph of imagination and style.
