The will-sapping tedium of life as a Walsall Reflector hack has given Dave Ichabod McVane a serious thirst for the devil's juice. Now, after years of debauchery, the booze has bitten back: what feels like a rhinoceros is buffeting its way through his stomach. He wakes cathetered and bed-bound among deranged regulars in a hospital with a terrifyingly high mortality rate. And if that wasn't bad enough, a figure from a past he'd rather forget revisits . . . to leave Dave reeling, raddled with paranoia and facing a scalpel-happy surgeon. Perhaps it's time to reflect on how he got in such a state. Was it the Walsall Academy of New Knowledge or the sideline in specialist leatherwork? Or was it having a Smiths fan called Ringo for a best friend, and hookers for next-door-neighbours? Is closing time being called once and for all, or will the pall of his disillusionment suddenly lift?
