Charlie Higson: Glamour, Gangs and Greek Islands
On sun-soaked Corfu, fixer McIntyre thinks he’s got an easy job ahead of him – but he quickly finds that things are a lot shadier than they seem. Described as a ‘perfect read’ by the Guardian, Charlie Higson’s new novel, Whatever Gets You Through the Night, showcases his love of drawing the dark humour out of even the bleakest topics and his appreciation for classic holiday thrillers.
