Joe Pieri used to be one of the Glasgow's best-known restaurateurs and ran the remarkable Savoy cafe. His cafe attracted the lowlife during the day but was cleared for theatre-goers in the early evening before returning to service prostitutes and villains late at night. Here, Joe witnessed all human life as it ebbed and flowed through the doors of the Savoy and it is largely from these experiences that he has compiled these tales written in the guise of 'Mario', the cafe owner.
