After moving on from the mean, violent streets of Los Angeles, retired sheriff's sergeant Tom Parker continues on with his International Private Investigations Agency and his refurbished rose-colored hotel on the beach in the Marianas Islands. Tom's partner is strongman Carlos Montano, Chamorro warrior, and together, they investigate a series of murders, kidnappings, frauds and assassinations, in locales as far away as the Philippines Islands. Tom still enjoys a "high" when he hears the clicking sounds of applied handcuffs to bad-ass suspects. Tom married his hotel manager, Cocina, and Carlos married the Chinese translator, Daisy. They cross paths with dozens of beautiful ladies and so far, have resisted other feminine wiles. Tom is still trying to master sail-boarding and belly boards, and finds great success in fishing in the northern islands with his two brothers. Tom and Carlos investigate a series of crazy and wild PI cases, including cases with Whitey the Tiger, and Leo the Bull. They're still in good stead with the professional police commissioner, but not so with her dopey cops. Be ready for some exciting and interesting adventures, and political intrigue, interlaced with romance and full moons.

This landmark publication collects three decades of writing from one of the most original, provocative and consistently entertaining voices of our time. Anyone who cares about language and culture should have this book in their life. Thirty years ago, Jonathan Meades published a volume of reportorial journalism, essays, criticism, squibs and fictions called Peter Knows What Dick Likes. The critic James Wood was moved to write: ‘When journalism is like this, journalism and literature become one.’ Pedro and Ricky Come Again is every bit as rich and catholic as its predecessor. It is bigger, darker, funnier, and just as impervious to taste and manners. It bristles with wit and pin-sharp eloquence, whether Meades is contemplating northernness in a German forest or hymning the virtues of slang. From the indefensibility of nationalism and the ubiquitous abuse of the word ‘iconic’, to John Lennon’s shopping lists and the wine they call Black Tower, the work assembled here demonstrates Meades's unparalleled range and erudition, with pieces on cities, artists, sex, England, concrete, politics and much, much more.
