In a dark night of the soul a bourgeois citizen runs away from home: his life has been a lie, a waste, a wilful delusion. For forty days and forty nights he suffers and shivers alone in a derelict Notting Hill villa. Then, the inevitable. A pre-Thatcherite workers' cooperative, led by a minor aristocrat, storms the villa and lays waste his precious penance. "Live and let live!" he cries. But no. If the workers cannot save him, they must damn him.

When car valet Geoff Osmah woke up in the morning, every morning, without exception, he did not want to live. In the last hours of his thirty-eighth birthday he shares his suicidal ennui on Your Call! with fading dj Pete Moran. What Moran says to him that night triggers the endgame for both men. Geoff plots to rob Moran and enlists the assistance of graphologist Fraser Davis, a man he kidnaps in the belief that he is a Radio 2 show-biz raconteur who until recently worked with Moran on Your Call! Davis quickly turns Geoff's robbery to his own advantage: he alone will have Moran's money, and he will enjoy Osmah's body as well, even if he has to arrange both of their deaths himself.

Two creatures from the lower depths invade the bachelor apartment of a has-been dj. No one survives the counter-attack. The Times Literary Supplement described David Milnes' writing as "bleak but impressive". In your hands is the bleakest and most impressive dark comedy you will read this year.

From Kirkus Review of 2.8.25: "Readers won't soon forget this dark ... novel" Here's a cultural terrorist "on a quest to push back against a 'tide of trash".
