À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Rule of Life No. 477: When a woman admits that it's difficult for her to ask for something, leave immediately.

Forgetting his own good advice, trumpet-player Angel (christened Fitzroy Maclean Angel) agrees to help the enigmatic Jo Scamp, a lady of brief but intimate acquaintance. And what begins with the simple recovery of stolen jewellery develops into violence involving a deranged London gangster and a policeman with vendetta.

The nastiness comes unpleasantly close to home, but if you've a working knowledge of the seamy underside of London, a trusty black taxi called Armstrong and a cynical black cat called Springsteen to rely on, you can handle it…Can't you?

"One of the best first novels of the year".
'Times Literary Supplement'

"Slangy but educated Angel…could become a habit".
'Sunday Times'

"Brisk, eventful and genuinely funny".
'Literary Review'
