Called Murder Games in the U.S. - The Chelsea Murders is a thrilling page turning Whodunit. It won the CWA Gold Dagger. It was made into a tv special in the Armchair Theatre series. Like Soldier and Me before I reckon it would have been better off made as a feature.
This is because it is a vivid snapshot in time of when Chelsea really did swing and the Kings Road really had panache. To capture the full glory of that really needed a bigger production. Maybe the time has passed for a feature film, but should there be a desire for a feature film set in the trendy Chelsea in the 70's - then this is definitely the best book for it.
Like Soldier and Me it seemed to draw on experiences in my life, although not murder I hasten to say. I actually went to a film school and the realism and artiness of Chelsea is quite phenomenal.
Because of this three times win my Father also won the Cartier Diamond lifetime achievement award too.
