Frank Fisher, a marketing man for a tropical fruit company, walks out to post a letter one day and promptly disappears. He has fallen into the hands of eccentric underworld boss, Conrad Staggers. Reluctantly, he agrees to become an accomplice in gangland wars and act as a chaperone to Conrad's daughter, Valentine, a woman addicted to shopping and sex.
Eventually, Frank is forced into a confrontation with a sinister hitman who has never been known to fail.
‘The blackest of comedies, sexy and unpredictable with a plot that convolutes like an eel on speed. Truly wild; dangerously funny.’ Literary Review
‘A gorgeously written romp through a London underworld of bruisers, mugs and molls.’ Financial Times
