Seventeen-year-old Clive Rayner was pissed off.It seemed so long ago since he was at school that he could hardly remember it and now he had no job and only his Giro money to spend.When his stepfather wasn't hassling him about his failure to contribute to the household exchequer,his mother was accusing him of being stupid,or some nosy policeman was sneaking up on him asking questions.Clive knew that he wasn't stupid but life seemed pointless and above all,it was boring.
It was when he was in the local Indian restaurant,The Bengal Light,with his mate Terry and their two birds,Marilyn and Paula,that Clive hit on the idea of breaking into Butterfield's warehouse.
With the girls safely out of the way on a bus, Clive and Terry were free to embark on the raid.
The result of their break-in leaves Clive in a totally unexpected situation - is he the offender or is he the victim? His crime has serious consequences,but as a first offender he gets only forgiveness from everyone - or nearly everyone.He is bewildered by his sense of guilt and left uneasy by his need for punishment.
