Sharp, compassionate and often darkly comic, this intelligent literary thriller tells of the struggle for survival in troubled times, tackling schizophrenia, boxing, debt collection, astrology and the occult in an absorbing and fast-paced story of brotherly love. By day, Patrick Farrell's work takes him through the streets of London, repossessing credit cards and searching for missing debtors. In the evenings he visits his brother Mike, who stares out of his hospital room window and talks about being followed. His new relationship with Jane brings him into contact with her friends, a group of fervent believers in the occult, and tests his ability to remain detached and in control. When Joshua Painter, a man with a history of exploiting vulnerable people, begins to take an interest in Mike, the balance of Patrick's world is thrown out of kilter. Soon the lives of those he cares about are suddenly, terrifyingly, at risk.
