I'd say they're making money out of love Â- or out of sex, at
any rate. And personally, darling, I consider love as sacred: the
one and only really sacred thing that's left: and if you make
money out of that, then you're destructive and should be destroyed.'
Frankie Love, new to the business of crime, seems to run his
illegal life on strictly fair principles. Meanwhile Edward Justice,
recently appointed member of the vice squad, finds his upholding of
the law complicated by love for his girl. In London's world of
corruption and crime, where does the line between justice and
immorality really lie?
Love is travestied in the activities of the prostitute, justice
mocked in the procedure of the vice squad. In this thought provoking
and humorous tale, Colin MacInnes writes with an authenticity which
only an intimate knowledge of the seamier side of life can deliver.
