Patti Moss loves cars. She loves finding them, stealing them and driving them away. Maybe one day she ll settle down, open her own driving school in the sun, and forget all about the man who dumped her. Maybe it s time for a change.
So she steals one last car...but it s the worst car she could ever have hoped to pick.Because its owner, Winston, is a political lobbyist with problems of his own. Far worse than nicking cars. A vital package worth millions of pounds and years of jail sentence was left on the back seat. And Winston s boss - Mr Bates - faces the wrath of the Russian Mafia when he finds out it s gone missing.He has to find Patti before Mr Bates does, for both their sakes, taking him on a twisted tale through Soho s more eccentric underbelly - and into the even more surprising depths of the English countryside.White Meat... is a quirky and original work where eccentricities of plot are counterbalanced by the credibility of the characters and dialogue....Part detective story, part contemporary satire, this is confident and fresh writing that will make you laugh aloud - The Sunday Mirror
