Always a fanatical bibliophile and scribeozoid and cinephile and Londonphiliac, he found the perfect place of abode. Over the years he learned to feed these various addictions to reading and writing and moviegoing and exploring the fearful megalopolis of London and make them into a more or less coherent &#8216;scene&#8217; for himself. Ed spent decades having various misadventures and disasters and survival issues and minor successes and learing &#8216;The Knowledge&#8217; of London life. As time went by the latent Scribeozoid in him developed into full Authorological Syndrome and he felt compelled to write feverishly of these experiences in &#8216;The London Trilogy&#8217;.&#8217;Riding House Street&#8217; and &#8216;Nine Elms Lane&#8217; and &#8216;King&#8217;s Scholar&#8217;s Passage To Vauxhall Bridge Road&#8217; are all separately available as ebooks (with additional chapters in their electronic versions) and as a collected printed volume on AMAZON.<\/p>\n<h2>Description<\/h2>\n<p>Evel Tyler, feared rock reporter. Growing up poor in London&#8217;s working class district of Battersea, Evel gets a lucky break as an apprentice on tabloid newspaper The Daily Goblin and embarks on a nonstop ambitious career as a music journalist. Inventing a popular Indie gigs and reviews column, he takes London by storm. With the help of a gifted computer hacker Evel creates his own private empire of surveillance, espionage and crank calling intimidation to gather information in the pop music and celebrity worlds. Using blackmail and threats and exposure he carves out his career as a prominent celebrity correspondent in his own right whom it isn&#8217;t wise to cross. Despite his huge success, Evel is tortured by his complete failure to gain recognition as a serious writer. No matter how many attempts he makes to write intelligent and worthwhile novels he is savagely rejected and mocked. Despising his own nefarious methods, he is nevertheless so good at them he cannot do anything else and still keep his brilliantly successful place in the pop music biz. Mad with jealousy at a principled colleague, Evel finds himself drawn into unexpectedly becoming a conscience himself.<\/p>\n<h2>Book excerpt<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">CHAPTER ONE: A LITTLE BIT OF FALSE WITNESS\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Ninth commandment given to the Israelites by Moses returning from Mount Sinai in the Book of Exodus, 20:16, King James Version.<\/p>\n<p>TRANSCRIPT OF RECOVERED TELEPHONE DIALOGUE RECORDED FROM 18:11 ON OCTOBER 13, 1989, PRIVATE PROVIDER ARIEL COMMUNICATIONS MOBILE UNIT TO ET LANDLINE DOMESTIC CONNECTION.

So sorry about that, I can\u2019t seem to stop dropping the phone, ha, ha, ha. They always complain in the newsroom where I work. Did you want my Dad? I don\u2019t actually live here anymore, I\u2019m just here for dinner. People say I sound a lot like my Dad these days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CC (Indistinguishable sounds): \u201cWhat did you say about\u2026never mind. No. I definitely don\u2019t want your Dad. Listen\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>UYMR: \u201cIs this the newsroom? Jackie, is that you? Has something come down the AP line about the Strangeways situation? Or is it the parts for that huge gun the customs stopped at Middlesbrough? Rumours are its some doomsday weapon ordered by Saddam Hussein\u2019s regime. I\u2019m ready to go on either story. Already have the preliminary background material written down and ready for the updates. Have Archie and Wallace made the weekly assignments yet for the PolBus bureau?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CC: \u201c\u2026(deleted) me. Nothing has come down the Associated Press line. This is not Jack Bradnam. Now listen up! To resume, we know who you are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>UYMR: \u201cCould you speak up, please? You sound a bit hoarse there.

Is this Eloise? Ellie, you know you\u2019re underage and not supposed to go down to illegal raves. I\u2019ll cover for you this time, but\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CC: \u201c(deleted)ing hell! For the last time, this is not Jackie or Ellie or anyone else you know or think you know. Will you (deleted) listen to what you\u2019re being told here. Judgement has been imposed and levelled and commanded upon you and there is no possible escape. It is total and utter and incontrovertibly decided.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>UYMR: \u201cYou\u2019re not Jackie or Ellie? Oh, sorry, how embarrassing. That\u2019s not you is it, Angela? Have you got that nasty \u2018flu again? Your voice sounds really gravely. I\u2019m really sorry darling, this job just seems to take up more and more of my time. There\u2019s always some new flap going down. I meant to call you about missing dinner with you and your parents Sunday night, but\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CC (Strangled noises): \u201cWill you (deleted)ing shut the (removed-censored) up! We are calling to warn you of the judgement and for your own good you had better listen good. Because this will be your only warning!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(Pause)<\/p>\n<p>UYMR: \u201cWhy, what\u2019s wrong? Could you turn the music down, by the way? It sounds like you\u2019ve got a speaker really close up to the phone and it\u2019s buzzing like anything. I can barely make out what you\u2019re saying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CC: \u201cYou are in great danger and the danger is growing. It is danger without measurement. As long as you remain\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>UYMR: \u201cCould you hang on for a second?

I hate slimy food. Actually I hate microwave food altogether. By the way, I don\u2019t think I got your name, was it Doone or something?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CC: \u201cThis is doom.
