William's life is beset with frustration: his band turns his melodic songs into grotesque parodies of Status Quo, and cool Madelaine dangles out of reach. Things could hardly get worse, it seems - until he becomes the only witness to a bizarre murder. "A very clever, very funny book ... Brilliant" - Sunday Times "Like a Hitchcock movie on drugs ... a novel of considerable gusto and panache" - Observer "It's about being young, poor, confused and in love ... Sharp, lucid and witty" - Guardian
