Jim has never really felt well. Some would call him a hypochondriac. Happily for him, his most recent symptoms do cause his GP genuine concern.
Admitted to hospital for further investigation, and unwittingly allowing his wife to enhance her relationship with his twin brother, Jim is bombarded with visits from irrepressible work colleague Jeff.
Jim’s initial relief at being officially unwell is short lived as his consultant, Mr Cook – believing Jim has more wrong with him than was at first thought – suggests a unique way to ease the general bed shortage.
Dave Peak was born in Evesham, Worcestershire. From the age of twelve or so he started writing. In the eighties, he attended the University of the West of England and the University of East Anglia. Thereafter he continued reading and writing as if (because) life depended on it. His first novel No.4 Pickle Street was published in 1988 to critical acclaim and was subsequently republished in paperback by Abacus. His second novel, The Cotoneaster Factor came out in 1990 and the third, Go Gentle in 1991, both very well received. The new Millennium has seen the publication of Miss Woo Country in 2016 and Curious Things Etc. in 2017. He has recently completed a sixth novel: Aphrodesia.
Fifteen years ago, Dave began a collaboration with author Louise Gethin to write black comedy scripts intended for television, radio and stage. They have recently completed a stage play – Three Women, a Corpse and a Porter and have embarked on a six-part comedy drama exploring the light-hearted world of voluntary and involuntary euthanasia.
