Romeo's Tune (1990)
“Eddie split in a cloud of Poison and a new BMW that her daddy had bought her out of the profits of his sausage shop. I ate breakfast alone in a draughty café with only the Daily Telegraph crossword for company.
I sat around the office all morning thinking about the sort of person who could afford a Bentley Turbo.
Eventually I put on my Crombie and schlepped over to Richmond just after twelve. I’d agreed to take the job and I couldn’t settle without my conscience nagging until I’d at l...east tried. I found Hillside Close just as a solid bank of grey cloud cut the sun out of the sky.
It was no slum. It stank of money, just the sort of place a retired pop star would live. The Close was maybe a mile long and as far as I could gather backed directly on to Richmond Park. The houses were huge and set well back of the road. The grounds of ‘The Chimneys’ started when the Close petered out in a muddy half-circle of crushed stone and gravel.MoreLess
