Charlie Higson, as in Charles Higson? Formerly of the punk
band, The Higsons (with the great song "I Don't Want to Live
with Monkeys"), he wrote, produced and performed in The Fast
Show. I read one of his crime novels, Getting Rid of Mister
Kitchen, kind of a Brit punk take on Hitchcock's Trouble with
Harry -- very twisted, very funny. Are these Bond YAs going
to be comedy?
