His once-scintillating career has run into a dead end. His crusading girlfriend has left him for a hotshot lawyer. While he likes things safe and tidy, he dreams of more, getting in touch with his inner Jimi Hendrix. But finding a lump and discovering he has four months to live isn't what he had in mind. What would you do? Murray, to his great astonishment, is soon living with a burglar, mixing with supermodels, charged with murder and in massive debt to slipper-wearing gangsters. And he's finally said what he thinks in a meeting. So who cares? He's living life to the full. But what if it's all a mistake and he has to face the consequences...

About the Author:
Matt Beaumont is a lover, not a fighter. He is a six-foot, high-tensile writing machine. His favourite colour is blue and his favourite Sugababe is Mutya. For many, many years he has wanted to write the definitive account of the Bee Gees' disco period. STAYING ALIVE is not that book.
Review:
Praise for THE BOOK, THE FILM, THE T-SHIRT 'Beaumont is the sort of writer you wish would knock books out quicker.' Closer 'Beaumont...is a technical whiz at his craft...He succeeds. Humour, feelgood factor, mild suspense...it is one airport novel that is definitely designed to take off' Guardian 'Delicious knockabout comedy...this is funnier [than e]' Bookseller 'This is Jeffrey Archer with irony...you'll be highly amused.' Daily Mail 'Toe-curlingly good...makes you laugh out loud' Campaign 'It's very funny from first to last. Infectiously enjoyable and energetic' Time Out Praise for 'e' 'A brilliantly plotted comic novel...it gave me more sense that literature is alive and kicking than anything else I've read in these 12 months' Humphrey Carpenter, Sunday Times Review of the Year 'Lively, viciously funny and about as switched on as a novel can be' Mirror 'Hilarious' Cosmopolitan Praise for 'e' 'A genuinely enjoyable page-turner' The Times 'e is the most enjoyable, addictive read I've had since Bridget Jones' Lisa Jewell 'Here's a book that recognises our true priorities: blame-shifting, arse-covering, personal enhancement, shagging -- and, oh yes, the odd advert. Matt compresses into a few weeks a dazzling cascade of events, most of which have either happened at one agency or another or are otherwise completely believable. A finer observer of agency politics you'll never meet.' Andrew Cracknell, Campaign 'Depicts the Machiavellian scheming and summary sackings of the ad world in withering detail and with no shortage of dead-eye wit' The Times 'Groundbreaking...an internet-enabled Clarissa for the 21st century' Evening Standard 'Hysterical, sensationally funny' Arena 'Read it, wipe away your tears, then read it again' Company 'Fab debut...lock eyes with Matt Beaumont. Your career may depend on it' Kirkus
