Taking Tiffany

Bag om Taking Tiffany

Jack Woodfield had it all; brains, brawn, and sightly bulges. But this modern, vaguely metrosexual man hails from a long line of hunky barrow boys who pawned their principles in exchange for the perfect six-pack, selling their souls to the family's mysterious familiar in the process. Despite this Jack had ditched West Ham United, Barking market, and especially his belligerent brother Jamie; any gossip about ancient uncles and their paranormal paramours was cobblers as far as Jack was concerned.But over Jack's shoulder lurked his hell-raising cousin, Hayden 'the lad' Woodfield, the willing slave of that mysterious familiar, Minty Hardcore; her predilection for rough trade seems set to screw up Jack's prospects for promotion and a cosmopolitan, politically correct life rather royally... And now the worst has happened. Back in Barking something has taken posh totty Tiffany Grieve, Jamie's girlfriend, and taken her in the worst possible way, flinging her headlong into Jack's arms. Jamie has fled, betrayed by brother and girlfriend both. Even their Aunt Amanda, former tarot reader to Ronnie Kray, has been removed from the board, her Bethnal Green home abandoned and empty. So too have Jack's friends from the LSE fled, knowing perhaps more about matters than they ought. 'Taking Tiffany' continues the story started in 'Jack and the Lad', spanning the sordid underbelly of high society's debutante culture in the 18th century, the tyranny of the Kray Twins in swinging 60s Bethnal Green, before slamming on the brakes to explode in present-day Barking and the City of London's Square Mile.
