Lid closed, monkey dead.
I read this book maybe ten years ago, a hardback from a used book shop. I can't recall anything about the cover. I did get the impression that the book was set in the late 1980s but I'm not sure.
There's an angel who messes up somehow (I really can't remember what he did) and thus he gets a bit of Divine punishment.
He's born and grows up in the UK as a hunchback dwarf and works in Brighton.
I think but not sure that he's a private detective. I can't remember much of the story after that.
One scene that I do remember is he's walking along the beach and a few teenagers mug him, they take his money and beat him up. He walks away crying - not just from the beating up but from shame because they were a bunch of schoolgirls.
I've looked through the Book Search hints but nothing comes to mind.
Anyone recognise this story?
