From the Publisher
Andrew has been described as 'a very funny storyteller' (The Times) and 'a talent to watch' (Big Issue). His novels are compulsively readable, and he's a master of twists, turns, and unexpected connections - all laced with the kind of dark humour and 'venemous one-liners mere mortals can only dream of' (Mirror).
ALL FUR COAT paints a frighteningly funny picture of the high life and the low life, and the cracks that people can slip through as they fall from one to the other.
