    About this ebook

    Frankie Love, new to his profession as a ponce, seems to run his illegal life on strictly fair principles. Ted Justice, recently appointed member of the vice squad, finds his upholding of the law complicated by love for his girl.


    Love is travestied in the activities of the prostitute, justice mocked in the procedure of the vice squad, as Colin MacInnes writes with an authenticity which only an intimate knowledge of the seamier side of life can deliver. It is a world in which motives, friendships and values are never as simple as they seem.

      "Mr Love and Justice" is the final volume of MacInnes' London series set in the post-war re-build of the late 50's- early 60's. The story focuses on the worlds of Mr Frankie Love, an unemployed seaman who's been roped into the world of pouncing, and Mr Edward Justice, a recently promoted Police officer, who's struggling with his obligations to the force and to his girlfriend, daughter of a criminal. "Mr Love and Justice" resides in the blurry line between between law and the sex industry, falling into the shaded grey area of London life. An enjoyable read, but I don't feel that it has the 'punch' of the other two books in the series.
