Aprašymas

Struck Off is a gripping comic novel of our times. Set in a busy

market town, it follows the dramatic story of Eaun Wright, a

well-liked trial lawyer and partner in a local solicitors' practice,

as his business, marriage, and reputation are all unexpectedly

and dramatically trashed within 24 hours and he embarks

on an audacious plan for revenge and redemption. Set in the

immediate future, Struck Off savagely dissects our crumbling

criminal justice system as well as providing incisive reflection

about what is actually now happening to traditional country

life, invaded as it now is by city incomers bringing new money

and new values. With a mix of prescient social relevance and

witty dramatic fiction, Struck Off navigates a rapidly changing

landscape involving gangsters and honest police officers, daffodil

fairs and a Roman orgy, acid baths and a very dead badger,

before a surprising international twist at the end of this fastmoving

narrative - as well as lifting the lid on what the Honorary

Secretary got up to in the hot tub. . ..
