About this ebook
A comedy thriller from the author of the Olivier Award-winning Jerusalem.
West waits in a burnt-out farmhouse, on Dartmoor, in the depths of winter, for two associates from the city. The wine has been poured and the revolver loaded. But who is waiting upstairs?
'characteristically moreish thanks to its high-definition misfits and clash of casual domesticity and menace' Time Out
'dazzling' Guardian
