Twelve Step Fandango

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.>
