Beloved UK movie critic and TV host Barry Norman’s knock-out crime novel, written in what the Daily Mail calls his trademark “intelligence, wit, and a racy style.”
Cockney ex-boxer Bobby Lennox agrees to do a favor for an aging hitman, who is going into the hospital for an emergency hernia operation, so he can’t meet his mysterious new client. So Bobby goes in his place, just to get the details for his friend, and soon finds himself on his way to Hollywood to kill a movie producer and his wife… an ex-hooker who happens to be Bobby’s former girlfriend. And things only get worse from there.
