Excerpt
The doorman at the Ex-Services club won't let us in. "Sorry, sir," he says to Baby. "It's your T-short."
"My T-shirt?!"
Baby stands six-foot-four in fishnet stockings, so the doorman pretends to defer a bit.
"Today's the anniversary of the Battle of the Coral Sea," he goes on. "There's a lot of the old fellows here tonight. They wouldn't like it, wouldn't like it one bit, that T-shirt."
"What's wrong with the bloody thing?" I ask like a man possessed. Beside me, I can hear the psychic whine of Baby revving up to high gear.
