The Times Literary Supplement described David Milnes' writing as "bleak but impressive". You have in your hands the bleakest, most impressive dark comedy you will read this year. At a lonely seaside bar, suicidal car valet, Geoff Osmah, gets rolled by ex-Radio 2 raconteur and celebrity graphologist, Fraser Davis - a crime that sets in motion the endgame for ailing dj Pete Moran, whose health, art and wealth are crushed beneath a weight of circumstance he does not understand.
David Milnes is the third child of a Scottish dentist and a Battle of Britain pilot. He was first published in Panurge (editor David Almond) and Constable (Signals: editor Alan Ross).
