A Week in December, the number one bestseller, has been described as:

'A thoughtful page-turner' – The Times

'Vast, well-plotted and gripping throughout' – Spectator

'Richly entertaining and highly rewarding' – Evening Standard

Seven Londoners are invited to an opulent dinner party. From a brutal hedge-funder to a lovelorn barrister, a Polish footballer to a pickle magnate, they are defined by the virtual worlds of religious extremism, financial gambling, drugs, and internet obsession they inhabit. But it is 2007; the Crash is coming, and all will face a terrible reckoning.

A Week in December is a dazzling and darkly comic state-of-the-nation novel.
