juliec, If you log onto euroweekly.com and select mallorca you will see the article about the author. Not an awful lot just a bit of background which you may have in the book.

Well, i finished the book last night and have to say i did enjoy it. Louie the Lip comes across as a guy who was a bundle of fun but was also a bit if a rogue, albeit a loveable one, he certainly knew how to party but also was a hard worker. Many characters came into his life, some larger than life and some were downright dodgy.
I found it interesting to learn how mass tourism and the club scene came to Mallorca, or "The Rock" as Louie calls it, also even back then there was a lot of corruption. The thing that is really obvious is that he truly does have the island in his soul.

Does anyone know the meaning of "Stangs !!" !
No takers so I looked it up!!!!!
on Urban Dictionary.
I feel more informed now!!
Stang

1. money in the form of coins or banknotes, esp. that issued by a government.
2. money or an equivalent, as a check, paid at the time of making a purchase.
–verb (used with object)
3. to give or obtain cash for (a check, money order, etc.).
4. Cards.
a. to win (a trick) by leading an assured winner.
