From the legendary director of Get Carter comes a wildly entertaining fiction debut--a deliciously dark slice of black crime comedy Today is a day Mark Miles will never forget--and it's only the beginning. Reg Turpin, the new Houdini and one of Mark's few remaining PR clients, is about to attempt a great feat of escapology, followed by the arrival in town of Dr. Herman Temple, the self-appointed guru, who will conduct a seminar on the dynamics of leadership at the Grand Atlantic Hotel.
