  Set in contemporary London this exciting, intelligent and darkly witty literary thriller tells the story of Conrad and his search to find the perpetrator of his ex-girlfriend's murder. Lily is shot by a hitman disguised as a bicycle courier whilst she and Conrad are having lunch at a too- fashionable-to-be-fashionable Soho restaurant Le Corbusier, six weeks after their break-up. Badly wounded himself, Conrad recovers but is stonewalled by the police when he tries to find out what has happened to them - and why - so pursues his own investigation . . .

  The first bullet entered the body of my ex-girlfriend - gorgeous, slightly-famous Lily - two inches beneath her left breast. We were sitting at a table in Le Corbusier, Frith Street, Soho. As the first bullet went into her, I turned to look at the gunman. Wearing Day-Glo Lycra, a helmet, mirror shades and a pollution-mask - just like a bike courier - he had a black and silver gun in his hand. And he was shooting the woman I still loved.
