The residents of Pepys Road, London
- a banker & his shopaholic wife, an old woman dying of a brain tumour, a family of Pakistani
...

From the bestselling author of Whoops! & The Debt to Pleasure comes a post-financial crisis, state-of-the-nation novel told with compassion, humour & unflinching truth. Featuring a contemporary cast of characters that crosses race, class & religion, Capital is the moving & hugely topical story of one street caught on the brink of the crash. Capital: the City of London. Capital: money, currency, finance. Both are central to the multicultural micro-society living & working on Pepys Road-an ordinary street in the Capital. Formerly working class, the simple houses have seen a wave of gentrification & expensive renovations that have rendered them highly desirable, valuable real estate. Here lives Roger Yount, powerful investment banker daily trading risk against profit on the Foreign Exchange. An annual bonus of a million might seem excessive, but with second homes & nannies to maintain, he`s not sure he can get by without it. Elsewhere on Pepys Road is the Muslim Pakistani family living above their convenience store, & a senior widow who entertains visits from her graffiti artist grandson. Recently arrived is Freddy Kano, teenage football celebrity, recruited from Senegal to join the Premier League, who left a two-room shack to follow his dream. Their stories intertwine with the immigrant workers who service the wealthy residents of the City: Zbigniew, the builder from Warsaw, catering to the super-rich in their interior decoration whims; the nanny who looks after Roger`s two small boys while his well-groomed wife indulges her shopaholic tendencies; & traffic warden Quentina, who has exchanged the violence of the police in Zimbabwe for the violence of the enraged upper middle classes. For them all, this city offers the chance of a different kind of life. Each house has its own story & its own secrets, having seen its fair share of first steps & last breaths, & plenty of laughter in between. Today, through each letterbox along this ordinary street drops a card with a simple message: We Want What You Have. Readers who enjoy Dickens & Trollope & such contemporary books as Sebastian Faulks` A Week in December, will not want to miss out on this fast-paced, cosmopolitan social saga. ...

” Capital Crimes” tells the shifting story of crime & punishment in London through vivid re-creations of a series of murders that stretches from the killing of Roger Legett, a notorious `questmonger`, during the Peasants` Revolt in 1381, through to the hanging of Styllou Christofi in 1954. Some of the murderers, such as the political assassin John Bellingham, are still remembered. Others, including the eighteenth-century highwayman John Davis, are largely forgotten. But all their lives & fates have much to tell us
- about London`s changing underworld, about the slow evolution of policing in the capital, & about the sometimes strange workings of the law. Above all, they provide a fascinating sideways view of London over the centuries
- from the crime-ridden alleyways of the Georgian capital to the supposedly respectable suburbs of Finchley, where the notorious `baby-farmers` Amelia Sach & Annie Walters operated at the beginning of the twentieth century. Illustrated throughout with contemporary engravings & photographs, this is an essential read for all devotees of London
- & of crime.
