About the Author:
Spencer was born and brought up in Cheshier. She has been a teacher in England and Iran.
From Booklist:
Frank Mason is a seemingly invincible gang boss in the London underworld, but the middle-aged Mason would rather live in Scotland and watch birds. He's also tormented by the demands of his wife--an underworld variation of Hilda Rumpole--and a greedy mistress. To facilitate his escape to Scotland, Mason plans a bank job so lucrative and so surprising that he and his gang can start new lives with large nest eggs. Spencer's latest offers an enjoyable combination of caper novel and police procedural. Characters are well developed, the story moves at a good pace, and Spencer uses her two settings--England and Majorca--evocatively. The novel is reminiscent of those suave and funny crime movies of the 1950s starring Cary Grant or David Niven. John Rowen
