Synopsis

There’s bad stuff out there. Folks reckon things like vampires don't exist, but they does—Jock from the burger van told me. Plus I found an actual one of ’em, sleeping at the time in the back of a hearse I nicked that first morning. That's how me and Jock got to setting out freeing the world of ’em, using his bag o’ wooden stakes and special bottles of whisky. Course, I knowed that vampires didn’t exist, not when I stopped and done some thinking. And I knowed Jock had mental wossnames, what with his son falling off that roof and him reckoning them immigrants pushed him. It’s just that I didn't get much time for thinking, not with the coppers on our arse. Jock were off…and me with him.

Goodreads review by Lacey on March 15, 2020

I liked this one a little better than the last one but it's still not as great as the first few books were. As time goes on it seems like Royston is getting more delusional, and before, where it was humorous because it seemed like a functional avoidance of what he didn't like in his live. Now he is......more

Goodreads review by Sean on April 26, 2013

Royston Blake is one of my favourite literary characters. I love the skewed, naive, savage way he sees all around him - Charlie has created a sort of whodunnit genre all of his own. What did Royston really see? What really happened? Putting together the pieces is all part of the fun. In this fifth c......more
