Many mistakes, few regrets, lessons learned and forgotten. Four men lie dead in a Bangkok morgue. Mike Dean doesn't feel it is his fault in spite of what others might think. He holds up in his Goa hideaway craving the bliss of ignorance, hoping his troubles will somehow blow away. But he has it, and they want it. They won't go away. Mike Dean thought he'd left the seedy underworld behind in the East End of London when he moved to the East End of the World. But trouble follows wherever Mike goes. Fortunately, he has friends; men you don't mess with, and the love of two women. The Ricketts are nasty people. For two generations they've fed off the perversions of their victims. Mike Dean has the means to put them away. That's how his latest problem begins. September is the month good things used to happen. This is Another September.
