Part social satire, part police procedural, Bill James returns with the
stunning prequel to Tip Top--In the drug-ridden Whitsun and Temperate
housing estates a connection, once made, is only ever one thing:
trouble.
Trouble for the journalist whose investigation into the estates leads to
his murder; trouble for policewoman Esther Davidson, whose job it is to
arrest the killer; and trouble for TV producer Larry Edgehill, who
becomes more involved with a Romeo and Juliet-esque cross-estate romance
than he ever would have wanted.
