Miles, a depressed computer programmer and obsessive cyclist, made tons of money in Silicon Valley but it means nothing to him since he can no longer feel any kind of emotion. Anna, a German car designer and high speed driving maniac, is going to kill herself in a car crash if she can't find a reason to stop sleeping. The two have less than nothing in common, until their brush with a radical trauma therapist and some very serious criminals.

Review:

'An engaging novel with excellent "what'll happen next?!' factor" Company

The razor sharp comedy, the acutely observed sexual politics and the underlying serious questions for modern society add up to making Llewellyn the rightful heir to Ben Elton (Paul Davies, The Mirror)

'Deftly written and very funny' Marie Clare

Think of TRADING PLACES written in the clever, forceful style of Ben Elton and you're close (The Times on Man on Platform Five)

Very thrilling and very mad Mission Impossible... Llewellyn's third novel is a furiously funny caper

'Writes very cleverly' Wiltshire Times

'Hilarious' Southern Daily Echo

Fast, furious and a fun read. (Woman's Way)

From the Publisher:

The new paperback from 'Ben Elton's rightful heir'
Robert Llewellyn's new novel has all his hallmarks: cutting edge technological stuff (a computer programme that makes a face that talks to you); contemporary issues (the Euro - not at all boring, honest); and relationships between men and women, which just doesn't go away. It's a great entertaining read, and the critics who compare Llewellyn to Ben Elton aren't wrong.
