A gritty examination of the underbelly of 1950s Soho. Gangsters, drugs, crime and sex provide the background to this novel set around an illegal drinking den populated by a host of colourful characters. It's certainly a far cry from the 50s stereotype of pinafore-clad housewives in suburbia. Great dialogue a good pace, and characters with a lot of depth make this a worthwhile read.
Shindig didn't know it but her reputation with the boys of Soho had been made that day. It had been one of those occasions when time had gone into freefall, everyone watched as he arced gracefully through the air and fell to the floor. He was quickly despatched out into the courtyard. Sharks would discover him soon.
