Description
Frank, a private eye in Brighton, is the perfect lodger: neat, quiet and solitary, a decent man leading an uneventful life. Then his neighbour announces she's pregnant, his landlady's budgie is strangled, his boss retires to a sauna, his client's wife is murdered, the client himself drowns, and his client's sister dies in a fall from a high cliff path.
As Frank's world tightens into a circle of chaos and death, he seeks escape. But will this be the catalyst he needs, or just another step towards the total collapse of his life?

Reviews
-
Benson delivers great lines in a glorious deadpan... Death itself is the real criminal in this tale, and the real mystery is how we reconcile ourselves to knowing that he will doubtless pull the big job on us one day.
The Sunday Telegraph
-
Benson's ability to walk this tightrope, between cynicism and sentimentality, between the arbitrariness of death and the absolute value of life, is a measure of his admirable control.
The Times
