“He hoped the alcohol would numb his gut to the constant nervous churning. He drained his glass and ordered another from the barman, then climbed onto a bar stool and swivelled round to watch the floor show, where the skinny blonde in the G-string was now wrapping her thighs around a pole.Time was when Frank wouldn’t have been seen dead in a place like Glitz – the city’s newest lap-dancing club where you could live out your wildest fantasies, and still be home in time for tea.
