King of the Streets by John Baker

What with tracking her husband's killer for the woman from Scottish Widows, and investigating the death of a teenage runaway, Sam Turner has enough on his plate. Without a mentally defective King Kong lookalike trashing his office and trying to throw him in the river, car and all. And he could certainly do without Frank Taylor, a bad-news gang boss from Manchester with some very nasty habits and even nastier tastes...'John Baker brings heart, invention and wit to the business of adapting the tough-guy novel to the realities of contemporary Britain ...King of the Streets will depress the local tourist board but bring cheer to crime and mystery readers' Ian Ousby, Independent on Sunday
John Baker is the author of four Sam Turner novels, Poet in the Corner, Death Minus Zero and Walking With Ghosts. His latest novel is The Chinese Girl.
