Twelve Step Fandango by Chris Haslam
Within the space of ninety late afternoon minutes I had snorted up a quarter-gram of coke, smoked an eighth of blinding kif and then knocked back a half pint of 80- proof home-grown aguardiente. It was reasonable to expect that I might be feeling a little off-centre.' Martin, an assuming, apathetic, amoral, yet eminently likeable character lives just in from the costa dealing to get by but dreams of expanding his business into a real money-spinner. When an old acquaintance turns up on his doorstep and promptly dies, leaving behind five kilos of high-quality cocaine, Martin realises his dream could come true without him actually having to do any work. But then the owners of the coke turn up, just a little bit upset that their property has gone missing ...Written with incredible pace and a truly original humour we follow Martin across the unforgiving landscape of rural Spain as, through a combination of bad luck, stupidity and downright betrayal, his situation becomes ever more desperate.
A classy debut caper The DAILY MAIL Haslam writes with brio.. you could happily waste a few hours over the end result Time Out
