This final novel, completed before John B. Spencer's tragic death in 2002, may be his best. Set in the West London he'd lived in all his life. Grief is a potent mix of drama, humor, and tragedy that will stay with you long after the final page is turned. Simon likes to think of himself as a hard man and he's not about to stand by and watch his mum get ripped off by a smooth real estate agent. Nor is he going to lose the love of his life--even if she happens to be his best mate's woman--without a fight. Meanwhile, his mate, Ollie, is too busy collecting debts and trying to get rid of his ex-wife's husband to notice. Lucy, a journalist, oscillates between a snide lesbian colleague, her evil junky brother, and her married estate agent lover, who, in turn, is trying to get Simon's mother to sell her house. When these disparate individuals collide, it's grief. Spencer's novels include Stitch, Perhaps She'll Die, and Quake City (all published by The Do-Not Press).
