William Warwick has been promoted to detective sergeant, but his promotion means that he, along with the rest of his team, have been reassigned to the Drugs Squad. They are immediately tasked with apprehending Khalil Rashidi, a notorious drug dealer who operates his extensive network out of South London. As the investigation progresses, William runs into enemies old and new: Adrian Heath, from his school days, now a street dealer he convinces to turn informer; and financier Miles Faulkner, who makes a mistake that could finally see him put behind bars.

An Excellent and Emotional Collection.
When I started listening to this collection of short stories, I could not stop. These stories were funny, witty, conspiratorial, heartfelt and gut wrenching. I enjoyed each and every one of them. The narrators were exceptional. This is a collection I will listen to time and again.

Entertaining tales by Lord Archer
Most of these stories have been around for some years, but are nonetheless still worth hearing. All the narrators are excellent but I wish we could hear who read what in the credits, as I could only recognize Armitage and Lesser.

Pretty good.
This was a nice collection of short stores. Some better than others, and some very, very Jeffrey Archer. A nice diversion from the usual fare of many too long fictional works, of late.
