The hero of
The Virgin Soldiers,
National Serviceman Brigg, is back. But now, instead of being stationed in his customary barracks at Panglin, he's a Regular Army sergeant, defending the Empire in the beds and bars of Hong Kong.

Peacetime diversions are numerous and distracting and include sensual fireworks with a pair of delicious Chinese twins and a tender, erotic affair with the lonely wife of an American serviceman.

Bursting with life and bawdy humour,
Onward Virgin Soldiers
is the second in Leslie Thomas's classic trilogy and an outstanding novel in its own right about the pleasures and privations of a soldier in the British army.

A walk through Kensal Green Cemetery, a meat pie in the greasy spoon, a weekend away complete with flannel pyjamas – Dangerous Davies knows how to treat the woman he loves.

Detective Constable Davies has two things on his mind: Jemma Duval, the beautiful, black, hymn-singing social worker and 'Lofty' Brock, the harmless old eccentric who drowned in the canal. To prove that Lofty's death was no accident, our hero sets out to do some undercover detective work on his own. He soon discovers that something sinister is going on. Something that requires intuition, dedication, brilliant deduction – and a timely blow with a blunt instrument.

As plain-clothes men go, Dangerous Davies looks like a non-starter. The small fry of petty larceny and minor disturbances in the backwaters of north-west London are his daily round. His philosophising drinking companion Mod, his outsized and unruly dog Kitty, his quarrels with his landlady – none of these bodes well for the efficient solving of crimes and the outwitting of larcency.

But his latest dead-end case leads him to something much bigger: the unsolved murder of seventeen-year-old Celia Norris in 1982. This is Davies' chance to prove his mettle.
