A warm short novel about three toilet attendants who fear that they will lose their jobs at Charing Cross station if the level of gay casual sex in the cubicles is not reduced. After some success they find that their campaign has halved use of the facility, which now means that it may not be cost effective. Faced with ethical and economic dilemmas, the Jamaicans come up with a heartwarming plan. All this is set against a leisurely description of the processes of urinal maintenance and of the relationships between the men and their families.

Very much in the mould of the Da Vinci Code, this tale is well-researched and Berry's narrative creates a strong sense of place and time. The historical backround is rooted in early Christianity and in 14th century France but it can be jarring in its introduction.
