Synopsis
In the exciting but sometimes dangerous London of the 1980s, Fitzroy Maclean Angel, jazz trumpet player and illegal taxi driver, meets a beautiful and enigmatic blonde - and that's just the start of his troubles. Hotly pursued by a jail-bird gangster and this thuggish henchman, a maverick cop bent on revenge, and a dogged Inland Revenue inspector, he finds his life becoming more complicated by the minute. And just how an emerald pendant, a women's peace camp and a wad of French francs fit into the picture, he can hardly imagine...

From the Back Cover
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".

"Brisk, eventful and genuinely funny".
