| What’s behind the
bizarre string of suicides at Butchers, the top-notch London merchant bank? Could there be
a connection with the Minx – the elusive lover that Butchers’ stalwart, Toby
Slaker has been – quite literally – blind-dating? (through an Internet site
where the dress code is a hood – and nothing else…) Or with Scarlett, the neurotic virtual woman who inhabits the bank’s computer systems? |
 |
| Or is it something to do with the inane TV programme, ‘The Hoodwink Show’?When Butchers fall prey to a billion dollar ‘rogue trader’, it seems that everyone wants to take it over - not least Toby’s own high-flying City wife. And as the bank struggles to remain independent, and Toby’s secret sexual liaisons become ever more daring, only Will Cloud, the pot-smoking Irish detective from Brass Monkeys, can disentangle the plot and save the day. |
