# The Satsuma Complex: The million copy bestselling first novel – 'funny, clever and sweet' Sunday Times

The Satsuma Complex series introduces Gary Thorn, a thirty-year-old legal assistant whose London life is so unremarkable he feels invisible. A fleeting connection with a woman in a pub sparks his interest, but she vanishes, leaving behind nothing but her book, The Satsuma Complex.

When his work acquaintance Brendan goes missing, Gary must track down the mysterious woman he calls Satsuma to uncover what happened. His quest winds through South London’s pie shops and housing estates, blending deadpan humor with the tension of a noir mystery. Bob Mortimer’s prizewinning comic fiction explores the absurdity of seeking connection in a forgetful world.
