QUITE UGLY ONE MORNING

COUNTRY OF THE BLIND

NOT THE END OF THE WORLD

BOILING A FROG

A BIG BOY DID IT
AND RAN AWAY

THE SACRED ART
OF STEALING

BE MY ENEMY

ALL FUN AND GAMES UNTIL SOMEBODY LOSES AN EYE

A TALE ETCHED IN BLOOD AND HARD BLACK PENCIL

ATTACK OF THE UNSINKABLE RUBBER DUCKS

ONE FINE DAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

The occasion: high school reunion.
The place: an oil rig converted into a tourist resort.
The outcome: carnage.

Gavin is creating a unique 'holiday experience', every facility any tourist who hates abroad will ever want, will all be available on a converted North Sea oil rig. To test the facilities he's hosting a reunion for his old school (none of his ex-classmates can remember him, but what the heck, it's free). He is so busy showing off that he doesn't notice that another group have invited themselves along -- a collection of terrorist mercenaries who are occasionally of more danger to themselves than to the public. And they in turn are unaware that Inspector MacGregor has got wind of their activities. Within twenty-four hours Gavin's dream has blown to the four winds, along with a lot of other things. Fast, rabidly funny, and seriously over the top.

Dress Casual. Bring your own bullets.

"Dark, violent and very funny" Daily Telegraph

What the papers thought of ONE FINE DAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT:

Good: The Guardian, The Mirror, Sunday Telegraph, Scotland on Sunday, Sunday Herald, Maxim, The List, The Times, Sunday Times

Shite: The Herald

Most ironically noirish instance of a journalist blindly stumbling upon a vital clue when it is tragically too late:

"If he decided to move on from his love affair with low brow... then he might one day aspire to literature. But perhaps he doesn't want to." Peter Jinks, The Herald

Some phrases one might normally be surprised to find in a review of a "flabby", "disappointing" and "deflating" novel (except in The Herald):

"witty, colourful prose"; "priceless ability to make the reader laugh out loud"; "an original voice of tremendous fluency and entertainment value". Peter Jinks, er, The Herald
