It looks like it's going to be quite a Christmas for Richard Hermes,a Christmas powdered with cocaine,and whining with the white noise of urban derangement.Not so much enfolded, as trapped in the bosom of the nastiest,most venal media clique in London,Richard is losing it on all fronts: he's losing his heart to the nubile Ursula Bentley; he's in danger of losing his job at the pretensious listings magazine Rendezvous; he's losing his mind courtesy of Senor Pablo Escobar; but worst of all he's losing his soul to. . . . Bell. Bell is the king-pin,the Grand Panjandrum.He is a veritable Vautrin, guiding the ship of scandal through the lower depths.From his headquarters in Soho's Sealink Club he pulls the strings that control disseminators of drek and gatherers of glib.Bell is a newspaper columnist,a talk radio host and that incarnated oxymoron - a television personality. But Bell has had Ursula Bentley and just about everybody else,male or female.As Richard Hermes pursues her deeper and deeper into the hinterland of debauchery,he is lured on by the sweet,seductive fragrance of her perfume,Jicki, and another,more sinister smell.
