In an age of mobile phones and electronic gadgetry, the two car family, modern kitchens with televisions and labour saving devices it is difficult to remember an age when a watch was a luxury. And yet a short fifty years ago in the mid fifties, there was purchase tax set at a very high level on luxury goods, and watches were in that group - which of course helped profit margins on the black market. When there is a shortage, the simple law of supply and demand comes into force, and items that are short become expensive; which of course leaves the door open for the unscrupulous to earn an easy fast ‘few bob’. The well organized crime syndicates - people who take advantage of situations to make a lot of money, and of course there are their ladies who help them, go to any lengths to protect their interest and to stay ahead of the law. This novel starts with an operation of such an organization. It will take you via its chapters into the world of people with different attitudes to life, who live by their own laws.
