My review -
This
topical short story tells the tale of the unprecedented referendum vote and
adds some fictional spice to the result which probably astonished us all when
it happened. Dave is a taxi driver working nights. Someone leaves a briefcase
in his cab and an unsuspecting banker finds it. He reads the contents, leaves
it there and later, Dave himself reads it. The contents are explosive. There
have been cunning plans and dirty deeds (we all knew that!), the banker dies
and Dave finds himself in great danger.
This
is a bit of fun (well, assuming you like murder and political intrigue). They
say a week is a long time in politics, and life imitates art. Current events
are catching up with, and even overtaking, this story – but take it in its
context. It’s a funny, slightly scary and bravely ambitious book. I enjoyed it
very much.
