Romeo's Tune

When you are an ex-cop and an ex-doper scratching a living as a private investigator in the unromantic streets of south London, you take what you can get. Even a dreary little debt collection job for some toe-rag of a used-car dealer. But when Nick Sharman collects the money due on a classic Bentley he finds himself stepping into another world. A world where a reclusive rock musician in a secluded mansion, complete with its own recording studio - and firing range - broods on the royalties stolen from him by a crooked management - and decides Sharman is just the guy to get them back. Taking the job could be the worst decision of Sharman's disaster-ridden life. And when rock'n'roll's godfathers take on the mafia, south London explodes in a maelstrom of violence. Rome's Tune is an uncompromising thriller from London's answer to Elmore Leonard.
