Watching the Waves

A tale of crime, bad science and the ghost of Shostakovich

It’s 2006 and the banks haven’t yet learnt the repercussions of easy credit cards and cheap loans. Alec has resigned his job in investment banking, causing his wife to jump ship and him to relocate to Zanzibar. All is about to change though, as declaring the start of a new life, he returns to London to take on the banks, whilst avoiding a litigious wife, the ghost of Shostakovich and a psychotic thief. In the process he attempts to become a half decent pianist, invents a new form of alternative healing, watches far too many episodes of “The Avengers”, and learns to love squirrel pie.
