A sudden death, a bucket list, a missing urn, a failing marriage, a make-or-break business deal, an irritating old uncle on a motorbike and a psychopath who refuses to die. How bad can one man’s midlife crisis get?
Exhausted entrepreneur Nick Swift is on the verge of financial success or ruin when his father inconveniently dies, leaving him with a bucket list to complete on his behalf. Accompanied by his uncle, vlogging sensation Karmic Keith, and watched by thousands of his followers, Nick is coerced into completing the bucket list in the midst of desperately negotiating an eleventh-hour deal to save his business. All this whilst carrying the urn containing the ashes he must scatter on his late father’s looming birthday. An urn that Nick would never have believed his life would come to depend upon. If only he hadn’t lost it...
Tim Armstrong Taylor: “I’d like to thank Bryony Sutherland, my editor, for believing that I could do this and helping me to produce the book I hope you will have just finished reading. Her attention to detail, her skill and creative input have been invaluable. Above all else she was a joy to work with, she held my hand when I ‘killed my darlings’ and when it looked like some research I should have done more thoroughly before I wrote the book threatened to end its life there and then, she saved the day with a solution I hadn’t seen. Without her calm advice in my personal ‘all is lost’ moment there may well not have been a book at all. Thanks so much B, I’m really looking forward to the next book. I promise to do most of my research before I start writing 94,000 words.”
