Item description from seller

First edition, first impression. SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR, IN BLACK PEN, ON FFEP 'Love to Jane Alan Robson'. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of largely black jacket and spine, not price clipped (£12.99), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 265pp. Infidelity, suicide, death threats, lust, murder, Alan Robson (b. 1955), the country's longest serving late night phone in host, has heard it all.

And now the man they call the 'Flashing Blade' tells the story of his rise to fame and fortune. Here is a lonely boy, sexually abused by the vicar he trusted, neglected by his family and forced to fend for himself on the roughest streets of Newcastle, but who grew up to quash the prejudices the establishment had about his working class background and launch a glittering career in radio and television. Scarce signed.…
