Description
London 1965, and Vince Treadwell investigates the seemingly unrelated murders of a playboy aristocrat from Belgravia and a young black nurse from the wrong side of town. It takes the detective to the illegal drinking dens of Notting Hill run by the self-styled Black Power leader, Michael X; the nightclubs of Soho owned by the legendary gangster, Billy Hill; and the exclusive gaming tables of the Montcler Club in Berkeley Square, where the blue bloods and power players of England gamble thousands on the turn of a card. But as Vince Treadwell digs deeper he finds himself not only embroiled with a beautiful society girl, Isabel Saxmore-Blaine, but a world of espionage and corruption where the underworld mixes easily with the aristocracy, and no one is innocent. Praise for "Kiss Me Quick": "A thrilling read". ("Buzz Magazine"). "Dark and involved". ("Daily Express"). "Unmissable". ("Best"). "This unusual and atmospheric crime novel suggests that Danny Miller is a writer to watch". ("Good Book Guide"). "...one of those books that literally grabs you from page one". ("The Week").
