Cockney cat burglar and jewel thief Jethro is as smart as he is streetwise, but even he has to be a bit nimble to prosper in the austerity-ridden, black-market-riddled world of post-war England. Having barely survived the war, Jethro tells everyone he''s gone straight and takes up as a stagehand around London''s many theatres. But the truth is that hiding in plain sight around London''s West End is the perfect cover for his diamond capers in wealthy Mayfair and Belgravia. Jethro steals into the embassy of an Iron Curtain power to pinch some fabled Czarist jewellery, but his daring caper brings him to the attention of His Majesty''s Secret Service and they blackmail him into going back to retrieve a secret code-book and help a beautiful cipher clerk defect. It''s all a set-up for a thief to catch a thief that pits Jethro against London''s top villains, as well as one of the Soviet''s topmost secret agents and assassins.

Johnny Future, lover of all that exists, hopelessly unrepentant and quixotic, knows that life is calling him. He can feel it, man. Inanimate objects, exterminator icons, street signs are all talking to him, telling him he''s a loser. His grandmother, Dolly Flowers, the only mother he has ever known, is in a nursing home. He hasn''t seen her since she got sick, but with a stolen car and a prostitute named America in tow, Johnny''s adventure to save her from death takes him from the slums of Hollywood to a wild freeway chase with the LAPD to the doorstep of fate. Steve Abee taps the well of broken hope and tattered heroism that sits beneath his nihilistic generation. A heartening, hypersexual, punch-drunk tour de force, Johnny Future ushers the drug narrative into the new American century.
