At a lonely seaside bar, suicidal car valet Geoff Osmah gets rolled by ex-Radio 2 raconteur Fraser Davis - a crime which sets in motion the endgame for ailing dj Pete Moran, whose health, art and wealth are crushed beneath a weight of circumstance he does not understand. The Times Literary Supplement described David Milnes' writing as 'bleak but impressive'. You have in your hands the bleakest, most impressive and least compromising novel you will read this year.
