ISBN: 0743207017From the man whose street-speak 'sizzles with wit and invention', a new, turbo-charged East London thriller.
Out of the nick, in his own gaff, and with Walthamstow's tastiest bird hanging off his arm, life couldn't be sweeter for East London anti-hero Nicky Burkett. Even the Old Bill are laying off the hassle which, bearing in mind his previous, is little short of a bleeding miracle. But when the lovely Noreen tells him her mate Alia's got this problem, and needs to get it sorted right quick, she's got him stitched up proper, and now that bit of bother's got him all the way to Pakistan...

The Strange Death of a Romantic
Pbk published February 2002 by Scribner at £6.99
ISBN: 0743208390
In 1822 the poet Shelley drowned near the Italian town of La Spezia. Or was he
murdered? Closer examination of the facts suggests his death to be far from
accidental. A century later, Guy Parrot and his glamorous new friends pass a summer
at La Spezia and indulge in elaborate parlour games speculating on the truth behind
Shelley's demise. But just as the poet's death conceals dark tensions, so too a sinister
subtext lurks behind the group's seemingly innocent diversions...
