Babble and SqueakPaperback, 27 February 2010

Joe Carhill knows fish and chips. Running the Codfather with his wife, Joy believes he needs a break - and could anywhere be better than a secret retreat? The answer would be yes. Run by city-hustler turned Guru, Dave, plagued by wind-up merchant, Raymond, Joe somehow finds himself on a greasy slope into grief, pain and being labeled a murderer. With a bad year looking to turn into something unthinkakbly worse, he has to rely on his loyal wife, daughter - whose secret life finds an increasingly large audience - and a borrowed night-time prayer as he looks for the timeless hope of redemption.
