Flowers At Midnight

By Nick Sweet

Leader of the Opposition, Sir Alex Bolton, is being blackmailed after erotic dancer Bella uses a secret spy camera to take pictures of him performing a kinky sex act in the shower. But people in high places are determined to ensure that nothing prevents Sir Alex from becoming Britain's next prime minister. Exotic dancer Bella is shacked up with her new lover, Martin, who works as doorman at the club in Soho where Bella dances...and Martin has been telling Bella they should move in case her bank robber husband Joey either gets out of nick early or sends some friends round to the flat. Then they discover-too late for their own liking-that Joey has done a deal with the police to win an early release from prison. What's more, the two fellow bank-robbers he ratted on-Ricky Red and The Dog-are out to get him and the missing £3,000,000 stash, and they aren't messing around. Joey tries to kill Martin, and then Bella's shot onstage at the Revuebar, in Soho. Chief Inspector Preston and his sidekick, DS Johnson, are called in to investigate what threatens to become a PR nightmare, as bodies start to pile up.

Reviews for Flowers At Midnight

[mikedraper · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

In a fast moving, crime novel, the action begins with an exotic dancer fulfilling a wealthy politicians sexual fantasy. What he doesn't know is that the dancer is taking photos for a future blackmail attempt. The politician could become the next British Prime Minister.The dancer and her boyfriend take their payoff and deliver the photos to a woman named Mona who learned of the politicians perverted sexual fantasy by sneaking a look into her lesbian shrink's files after they had sex.In a world dominated by evil people and former inmates, we learn that the dancer's husband, Joey, was a robber and just ratted out his friends so he could get out of jail sooner. Now his two friends want to come after him.The author, Nick Sweet, writes a story that seems realistic. The story seems imaginative and the plot unique. Some of the sexual things were a bit much and I had to shake my head at some of the action.However for the fan of noir crime novels, this should entertain.
