Murray's life is on the duller side of normal. His once-scintillating career has run into a dead end. His crusading girlfriend has left him for a hotshot lawyer. While he likes things safe and tidy, he dreams of more, of getting in touch with his inner Jimi Hendrix. But finding a lump and discovering he has four months to live isn't what he had in mind.What would you do? Murray, to his great astonishment, is soon living with a burglar, mixing with supermodels, charged with murder and in massive debt to slipper-wearing gangsters. And he's finally said what he thinks in a meeting. So who cares? He's living life to the full. But what if it's all a mistake and he has to face the consequences. From the bestselling author of 'e' comes this novel of a very normal life becoming extraordinary.
