Product Description
Product Description
Meet Tommy Akhtar, cricket aficionado, devoted son, some time private investigator and some time idol to West London's thug-lites. It's multi-tasking, serious (Little Book of Tommy #38). He's just woken up with another hangover and combed a parting in the pelt on his tongue when his next case comes through the door. Exoticmelody is searching for her fellow hooker, sexyrussian.co.uk, last seen meeting a client in a Mayfair dive. It looks like a join the dots kind of job. But as the search for sexyrussian hots up, Tommy's case takes a turn for the sinister. He's drawn into a murder investigation and the dark side of both the establishment and those who plan to overthrow it. But Tommy reckons it's the opportunists you've got to watch out for. Neate brilliantly explores the underbelly of the cultural mix that makes up London - The City of Tiny Lights - and questions just what it really means to be British right now...
From the Inside Flap
Sometimes now, at night when I lie awake and no fantasy test
innings is going to bring me peace, I look out of my bedroom window and
across London. Do you know that Frank Zappa song, `City of Tiny Lights'?
That's what I think about, just that phrase which sounds so vulnerable. I
think about this city of tiny lights that was on the verge of
who-the-hell-knows and how many of those lights might have been and, I
guess, might yet be extinguished.

Then I think about the lesson of the self-deceiving powerful and how, if
I'd figured it out before I started poking my nose - unpaid I might add -
into the murder of Anthony Bailey MP, I'd have saved myself a whole lot of
grief and all.
