Albie, on the dole and at the mercy of the insularity that unemployment brings, is angered at the death - during a left-wing demonstration - of his friend Nicky. He determines to discover the identity of Nicky's murderer, but - used by Pope, a radical lawyer, and Gaughan, a tabloid reporter - he discovers the inexorability of the political machine he'd previously ignored. The book is uneven and would have benefitted from editing, but it's often abrasively accurate in its observations of political factions and police corruption. A promising read for 4th/5th year GCSE book-boxes.
