I picked up the book expecting it to be a detective novel. But it is an out and out crime story delving into the minds of the criminals. The story revolves around a rich old lady who becomes the target for a set of scheming criminals. It was an average read.
"Bromhead a forger and blackmailer as soon as the old woman listen to her tape the banker is losing his job bcos before his mouth is uncontrol when he is enjoying with his nice on the bed"
