Fiagara Nights — David Robinson

A comic mystery of unruly behaviour, nouveau riche snobbery, and third-age decadence, complete with dodgy pills and murder.

When successful novelist, Raymond Baldock returns to Midthorpe, the scum council estate where he was born and brought up, it is with the intention of wielding his wealth and influence over everyone for the few days that he is there. But he has reckoned without Lisa, the love of his former life, or the way his car wheels keep disappearing. When he learns that his demure, divorced mother is carrying on a rampant affair about which she is painfully frank, and that she has been arrested for poisoning her boyfriend, he cannot leave Midthorpe until he has sorted the mess out and got his wheels back. Comic madness and murderous mystery in the first of the Midthorpe novels.
