Most people travel to Corfu to escape the real world for a couple
of weeks and embrace the fantasy of olive trees, sandy beaches, and
little fishing boats bobbing on sparkling blue water under a warm
sun. But not McIntyre. McIntyre's a fixer, specialising in getting
people out of places they don't want to be with the minimum of
fuss, publicity and violence. The job in Corfu should be easy -
spring, Lauren, a 15-year-old schoolgirl, from the luxury compound
of the tech billionaire, Julian Hepworth. Hepworth's young,
handsome and charismatic - he's also a suspected paedophile, who,
under the guise of training a girls' tennis team, has set up an
abusive cult. But as McIntyre sets up his operation in the
exclusive north eastern corner of the island, things quickly start
to slip out of his control. First, Lauren's father turns up,
threatening to give the game away, and soon, McIntyre's having to
contend with Albanian gangsters, Greek drug dealers, psychotic
bodyguards, flat earthers and spoilt, wealthy teenagers looking for
dangerous kicks. To further complicate things, Lauren's planning
her own 'jailbreak'. It looks like things are going to be a lot
harder than McIntyre's used to. Luckily, he has his team around
him, a motley and colourful bunch, each with their own speciality.
The intertwined stories come together as the various characters all
converge on a glamorous summer party at Hepworth's spectacular
villa. Can McIntyre play the different factions off against each
other and get Lauren to safety without things going horribly wrong?
Whatever Gets You Through The Night is a crime novel with a
thrillingly dark heart about the truths that lurk beneath the
picture post card surface of a sunny Mediterranean idyll.
