Book Description
A twisting
and turning noir thriller that plays out like an amphetamine fuelled Greek
tragedy. This is a well-observed and thoroughly engaging period piece lifting
the lid on the dark side of 1960s Brighton, with its mods and rockers tearing
up the beach, porn barons, mafiosi and corrupt police. Out of this came
Detective Vince Treadwell, a quintessential working-class boy done good and the
very embodiment of 60s meritocracy with his sharp suits and quick fists.
Set in
Brighton over the bank holiday weekend of 1964, an ambitious and handsome young
detective named Vince Treadwell is sent down to solve a murder and catch the
elusive and powerful gangster, Jack Regent. In the tangled web of the crime,
Vince falls for Jack’s beautiful girlfriend, Bobbie LaVita, and discovers the
truth about their own dark pasts.
Kiss Me
Quick goes behind the headlines of rioting Mods and Rockers, and into the
deadly world of a secret Corsican crime organization, a burgeoning drug trade,
police corruption, pornography rackets, and the dark side of the music
business. With its elaborate and compelling plot, a cast of deliciously
treacherous and vividly drawn characters, this page turning thriller introduces
us to the dangerous world of Vince Treadwell.
