Description

Meet Matt Prior. He's about to lose his job, his house, his wife, and maybe his sanity too. Financial journalist Matthew Prior quit his job to set up a website which couldn't fail. Only now he's woken up to the biggest crisis since the Great Crash, and it has. He's got six days to save his house. It's hard to focus when your wife's having an online affair with her childhood sweetheart, but there are children to think about . . . So when he gets hold of some high-grade dope and finds he can sell a piece on at a profit, he begins to think this might be his salvation. A fabulously funny, heartfelt novel about how we can skate close to the edge of ruin - and pull back. 'Brilliantly written. Great comic scenes and original one-liners.' The Times 'A beautifully laid-back exultation of the human connections that make life worth living.' Metro 'Ecstatically funny and unusually big-hearted.' Financial Times
