The narrator’s gender is as ambiguous as his/her ambition in life, but you can't help sympathising with the insightful and often hilarious take on events

A pace-making narrative, clearing hurdles that would send many writers sprawling.
Book Description
Winner of the Crocus North West Novel Competition in 2001, Corned Beef Sandwich is a side-splitting, fast moving crime caper set in one of the seedier districts of South Manchester. Somewhere between Ealing Studios and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, it follows the exploits of a Bookie's assistant who accidently takes home a gun man's swag bag. Housemates, surf god Axel, nuclear PR whiz Sheena and big plans Theo - are none too happy with the chaos that ensues.
