Jeremy Fisher is a smart doctor in what he calls the "Jag belt,south of London";
the community are rich,talk with Harrod's
accents,drink too much and call one another Bunny.When a young unmarried girl has to have an abortion it is done smoothly,without anybody knowing anything
about it;unless the girl,hoping to save money for a boy-friend,has one at cut-price rates and then dies.Jeremy Fisher,to oblige a friend,quickly hustles it all up under the carpet but a blackmailer gets to work and the girl's father,an Irish baron and a thriller-writer comes upon the scene to investigate and uncovers Jeremy's unsatisfactory private life,peeling off layer after layer,exposing him as a victim of malicious revenge.With her usual quick humour,and brilliant off-beat characterisation,Joan Fleming tells a fascinating story full of strange possibilities and realities.The many addicts of this author's work (which include 'When I Grow Rich' and 'No Bones About It' ) will be delighted with this gay and gruesome story,set among doctors.
