Synopsis
An 'Italian job' for the 21st century, with swearing in several languages - some of it translated - chilies as offensive weapons, but no Minis. Mike Ripley moves up West to Heathrow and introduces a new multi-cultural cast of characters all determined to make crime pay, in this hilarious novel which deconstructs one of Agatha Christie's most audacious plots.

Review
"The outrageous rip-roaring Mr Ripley is an abiding delight..."
From the Publisher
Mike Ripley's first non-Angel novel couldn't be more current - or any funnier. In his usual witty way, he recounts (in the style of a man in a west London pub) a scam to rob Heathrow Airport. Needless to say, all is not as it seems and as the police struggle to keep on top of events, the multi-motived, multi-racial cast of characters don't always act as expected. This is very possibly Mr Ripley's finest outing to date and for those who can't wait for the film, the script is included for nothing - and gratis - after the novel. And I am very honoured to see that one of the characters shares my name. Any resemblence, as they say, is entirely coincidental.
