I gather Dan Kavanagh is really Julian Barnes, writing private eye thrillers under this pseudonym.
Certainly a fairly salacious page turner, Duffy is a bisexual ex-London copper, with the usual peccadilloes belonging to most private eyes.
Set pretty much in late 1970’s Soho, this features a lot of late 70’s sex, bent coppers and South London crime. Having been set up by most of the other plot characters, Duffy gets his revenge in the end.
Pretty light airport or (for me) summer garden reading, but it doesn’t pretend to be anything else.
