Fame & Fortune (Deceased) - Steven Elvy - Bog

It's 1960 and jobbing actor Simon Trevanion is out of work. His agent, Petunia Hemple-White, offers him the only thing on her books that is available and so in desperation he becomes straight man to comic Billy Fame at the seedy Remington Club in the heart of London's Soho. But as Simon begins to learn more about the club and the odd selection of characters who inhabit it - including the Banks family with their links to organised crime involving extortion, blackmail, prostitution and armed robbery - the more he is sucked into this dangerous new world and looks for a way to get out.
