Publisher's Synopsis
What happens when nice boys turn nasty? In Swaggering Swanks two PhD students researching the topic of burglary find themselves out of money, dumped by their girlfriends and freezing to death in their rented home...should they put their academic knowledge into practice? They have their supervisor to think of...but he's no angel himself. And their relationships, past and present...what will the girls make of it all? And what would happen if the real burglars ever found out? David Giles's debut novel takes us on a bumpy ride across the buttocks of an imaginary South London cityscape - a world where, whatever you are doing to attract the attention of the local constabulary, a few streets away someone is doing something worse. Town and gown tense up and have a good hard stare at one another. Who will be the first to back down?
