About book – A Clue to the Exit
Charlie Fairburn, successful screenwriter, ex-husband and absent father, has been given six months to live.
He resolves to stake half his fortune on a couple of turns of the roulette wheel and, to his agent’s disgust, to write a novel – about death.
In the casino he meets his muse. Charlie grows as addicted to writing fiction as she is to gambling. His novel is set on a train and involves a group of characters who are locked in a debate about the nature of consciousness.
As this train gets stuck at Didcot, and Charlie gets more passionately entangled with the dangerous Angelique, A Clue to the Exit comes to its startling climax.
