Official synopsis Publisher
As 1983 draws to a close, the clients and associates of Wilford Smith Solicitors in Rotherham continue to produce equal measures of tragedy and farce. From career criminal, Jack Heptonstall and his vast brood to manic insurance broker, Sean Page, they’re all bent on keeping Steve Smith’s life interesting. Starting with the accidental theft of a boa constrictor – along with twenty thousand cigarettes and a Ford Transit – Steve struggles with Fifi DuPont and various other exotically named hookers, a ragbag of crimes both petty and large, villains and victims of all shapes and sizes, and a double migration by the Heptonstall family, to name but a few. But true to form, he finds both humanity and humour in everything life throws at him, and distils it all for our rich enjoyment…
