Synopsis
Keeping her company are her companion of many years Kitty Flood, and the discreetly insane American, Dr George Addison-Powell. Why is Delly so keen to die? What exactly is in the letter discovered by Kitty? What is Dr George doing in the shed by the overgrown tennis courts? And does any of it have anything to do with the conspiracy theories being hinted at on Joe Kavanagh's radio show? Down in the city, Barry, Joe's producer, is getting caught up in something and he's not quite sure what. While Joe is trying desperately to loose his foothold on life and is succeeding only in annoying his neighbours. And all the time, conducting business down by the river, doing his best to keep out of this, is Kez. Something is about to occur.

From the Back Cover
Delly: Rich and at home. There's only one thing she wants now: for death to come and get her.
Kitty: Ravenous, enormous, possibly a genius. What does she know? And what's she doing in the attic?
Barry: His flat is under siege, his boss is taking over his life. Love is the last thing he needs.
Joe: His radio show is holding together. It's the rest of his life that's falling apart. But not nearly fast enough.
Dr George: He's unhinged, he's delusional, he's dangerous, he's American, he's here.
Kez : Why can't they all just let him be?
