From one of Britain’s masters of crime writing, here are two stories to whet your appetite, presented here in bargain-price format. The first, A Piece of Cake, has been anthologised several times already, and tells of the night Terri waited at home for her current lover, the no-good Jeg, to return from his latest robbery. The job had gone wrong, and Jeg is not in a good mood. In the second story, No Debts Unpaid, Terri has moved on. Working as a hostess in a south London bar, she is pressured into picking up and duping a more likeable young criminal, Billy Nolan. Terri is a girl with a conscience – but it will be a violent night, and unhappy for some.
