Beschreibung

Traumatised by a tour of duty in Iraw, Richard Gaunt returns home to his girlfriend with very little of a plan in mind. Finding it difficult to settle into civilian life, he turns to drink and gambling - and is challenged to a bet he cannot resist. All he has to do is walk from London to Oxford in under twelve hours. But what starts as aharmless venture turns into something altogether different when Richard recklessly accepts an unusual request from a stranger . . .

'There are good reasons why Torday has found success, as this novel shows . . . Above all, there's his desire to entertain and to keep his readers turning those pages' GUARDIAN

'Written with confidence and dry humour, it's engaging and funny' BIG ISSUE
