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?
