"This year's Rose Alley Memorial Award must surely go to Jake Arnott, whose latest crime novel, Johnny Come Home, was published in April 2006 and, alas, pulped in August 2006.
In his narrative, set in London's tin pan alley in the 70s, Arnott introduced a character called Tony Rocco: a one-time big-band singer, now an impresario and a big-time pervert in the Harry Starks mould. Nasty. Alas, out of obscurity, escorted by his learned friends in wigs, emerges the real-life Tony Rocco: former big-band singer and a figure of unimpeachable respectability."
