For Will Benson, life cannot get much worse. Cuckolded, overweight,
and in career meltdown he is at his lowest ebb. Attempting to
concentrate on his column in the shambolic trade rag, Theatre
World, through a fog of lunchtime drinking he recalls wistfully his
halcyon days as a cub reporter when life was all so different.
Baccanalian romps in the countryside, illicit trysts, shared
secrets; the world was his for the taking. But when then past comes
knocking at Will's door, the reality is suddenly far removed from
his memories. His old friend Nicholas is dying, and Henry - Will's
youthful hero - has stolen a valuable Vermeer painting and is on
the run. Impelled to track Henry down, Will reluctantly takes up
the trail. But Henry has always been a slippery customer and along
the way Will must endure an Oxford Gaudy, a bizarre heavy metal gig
and the worst dentist in the world before the full extent of
Henry's Machiavellian plans are revealed . . .
