A dark yet bizarrely comic murder mystery; the story of Martyn Pig, a teenager caught in a macabre web of deceit when his father is killed. This comedy of errors is tightly plotted and full of moral ambiguity. By turns funny and nightmarish, the writing has a ??film noir? quality to it. It conjures up images that stay with the reader long after the book is finished.
