Estrella Damn

Slim Gunter tries to help people. People like Estrella Woolf. They have too much money, too few scruples and attract trouble like a night-bus. When Slim investigates the theft of a Tibetan artefact he doesn't expect to get more out of it than enough money to pay the rent and settle the tab in the off licence. What he actually gets is a case involving strong drugs, rats in hats, bad policemen, Maltese crooks, pornography, a trip to the seaside, and murder. Big Eddie Scarborough, academic Barclay Lloyd and Slim's sweetheart Lady join forces to find out what is really going on. But nobody's telling the truth and everyone has something to hide, including Slim.
