Opening on the windswept front of Morecambe Bay, on the remote north-west coast of Engl&, The Electric Michelangelo is a novel of love, loss & the art of tattooing.

- a scraper with a reputation as a Bolshevik & a drinker to boot. His skills acquired & a thirst for experience burning within him, Cy departs for America & the riotous world of the Coney Island boardwalk, where he sets up his own business as ' The Electric Michelangelo'.
