Gary Thorn is back, torn between the safety of his London life and a leap into the unknown in Brighton, where his girlfriend Emily is opening a hotel of her own. Packed with Mortimer's trademark off-the-wall wit, gentle menace, and a genuinely gripping mystery, it's the perfect brand-new paperback for fans of comic fiction, quirky thrillers, and Bob Mortimer's much-loved voice. About the BookGary Thorn is struggling with a big decision. Should he stay in London, wallowing in the safety of his legal job in Peckham and eating pies with his next door neighbour, Grace, and her dog Lassoo, or should he move to Brighton, where his girlfriend Emily is about to open The Hotel Avocado? Either way, he'd be letting someone down. But sinister forces are gathering in a cloud of launderette scented-vape smoke, and the arrival of the mysterious Mr Sequence puts Gary in an even worse predicament: soon he might be dead. All Gary wants is a happy life. But he also wants to be alive to enjoy it. This sparkling sequel to Mortimer's bestselling debut The Satsuma Complex fizzes with the same off-the-wall humour and warmth that made its predecessor a favourite with readers, while ramping up the intrigue as Gary's potential move to Brighton is cast in a strange new light. Fans of the first book will enjoy catching up with familiar characters, while newcomers will find plenty to love in Mortimer's funny, meandering, tender storytelling. It blends laugh-out-loud comedy with real heart and a streak of genuine menace.
