Publisher's summary

Part social satire, part police procedural, Bill James returns with the stunning prequel to Tip Top - In the drug-ridden Whitsun and Temperate housing estates a connection, once made, is only ever one thing: trouble.

Trouble for the journalist whose investigation into the estates leads to his murder; trouble for policewoman Esther Davidson, whose job it is to arrest the killer; and trouble for TV producer Larry Edgehill, who becomes more involved with a Romeo and Juliet-esque cross-estate romance than he ever would have wanted.

Another uniquely entertaining Bill James crime novel.

Bill James is like a perfectly morphed combo of the Americana noir of Elmore Leonard & the incisive British satirist Saki. If you’re not a bonafide Anglophile, his writing may baffle, because James’s writhing is seriously, slyly, sardonically, & mordantly funny, yet capable of being darkly hardboiled. Nobody does dialogue like Bill James. His characters constantly talk around & past each other- they bicker, deflect, cajole, issue veiled threats, speculate, & second guess each other. Constantly. Maggie Ollerenshaw’s narration sets the tone splendidly- she manages to not just give every character their own distinct voice, she animates Bill James’s overall take on British manners through the lens of British Crime. I hope that Audible releases the entire Harpur & Iles series of crime dramas (this book is not part of that series).
