Shooting the Sleaze is a comic thriller that tingles the spine while tickling the funny-bone. It sets official state agencies at loggerheads with private sector counter-intelligence, each employing its own little band of killers. These frequently fall over each others feet. Meanwhile, someone is killing off reporters of the nations leading tabloid. Odd movements like The Poor Peoples Army and the Last of the Republicans are planning to blow away half of Londons famous landmarks. In addition, the countrys most savage uncaught serial killer, Jack the Stripper, is coming out of retirement with a bayonet and a license to kill. These join a glamorous columnist, a corrupt detective, a porn-loving Prime Minister, a former CIA hitman and many of the great and the good in a mad dance of comic violence that ends in a great bang and quite a bit of whimpering.
