As his London life spirals murderously out of control, Matt is forced to seek out old flames and consider North Korean business ventures. Sneered at by sales assistants, abused by cabbies and mugged by his own dreams, he searches for a final means of escape.

Get Me Out of Hereis a novel of comic anger, of success and failure, commerce and culture - and, fundamentally, belief - in a busted city.
