## About this book

Gary Thorn, a thirty-year-old legal assistant in London, lives a life so unremarkable that even a fleeting connection feels monumental. When he meets a girl in a pub who vanishes without a trace, all he has left is the book she clutched: The Satsuma Complex, the first volume in The Satsuma Complex series. Smitten, he nicknames her Satsuma after the title and resigns himself to never seeing her again.

But when his work acquaintance Brendan goes missing, Gary’s hunt for answers propels him through South London’s pie shops and housing estates in pursuit of the enigmatic Satsuma. This English comic novel, winner of the 2023 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize, fuses noirish fiction with surrealist humor, marking Bob Mortimer’s bestselling fiction debut with a cast of unforgettable characters.
