Attributed to John Grant, who as Jonathan Gash wrote the popular Lovejoy novels - from which this purportedly first-hand account of female prostitution in London's West End is a far cry. Grant himself denies involvement, perhaps to preserve the book's air of authenticity, which runs through from the endorsement by Sir John Wolfenden on the dustjacket and the blurb to the same that contrasts this work with 'the "true confessions" so often carpentered together by sensational ghost-writers'.
