Venus Fly-trap

'The Venus Fly-Trap' is one of the classier joints in London, a place with its own kind of feel. No strip club. No clip joint. But one of the top night entertainment spots around. Its entrance is hidden in the heart of Soho; inside it offers smooth luxury at the price of a king's ransom. Sidney Palmer is a senior waiter at 'The Venus Fly-Trap'. His son, Eddie, leads a jazz band there called 'The Opus'. And his daughter comes there nightly as the guest - or mistress - of a hoodlum who is a regular at the club. Sidney Palmer and his family are little men, dancing to the strings pulled by big men. That's the game they all play. But when there's murder, the strings get tangled, and a tragedy of revenge results. John Wainwright has written a superbly constructed, gripping and original thriller, once again displaying his powers as a master of crime writing. Book Dust Jacket
