The Butterfly Tattoo

The Butterfly Tattoo by Barry Norman

The second wild and witty “Bobby Lennox” adventure by legendary UK TV host and critic Barry Norman.

Bobby Lennox is an ex-boxer, reluctant “fixer,” and a struggling London entrepreneur who does favors for Donovan, a crime boss angling for respectability. One way Donovan hopes to get it is by helping Archie Beckway, a womanizing, corrupt politician who is being blackmailed by three people dressed as Disney characters… one of whom has a butterfly tattoo on her shapely leg. But the assignment isn’t as clear-cut as it seems, and twists right back to Donovan’s doorstep. 

This novel was originally published in the U.K. as The Mickey Mouse Affair but in the U.S. under its present title.
