Nine months after following a friend to London Ian Proctor isn't happy: the squat is about to be evicted, he's about to lose his part-time job, and his friend of over twenty-two years is embroiled in a scam that clearly hasn't worked. Nothing is secure. More disturbing is the violence that surrounds them; a man thrown from the back of a bus, and two thugs a little too handy with their fists and paint-stripper. Following a bicycle messenger through central London, Ian embarks on a more promising life which is ultimately threatened by his former associations. A powerful novel exploring the end of a friendship, and the damage caused by seemingly inconsequential truths, misreadings, and outright lies.
