Patrick Robertson - Brian Hennigan

Master salesman and Asian hotel bar connoisseur, Patrick Robertson is on the point of leaving Bangkok when he encounters a beautiful, neurotic woman. The next thing he knows, he is in the secret jungle hideout of the People's Earth Friendly Liberation Group, who have confused him for the International Monetary Fund's Patrick Robertson. Using all his ingenuity and sales skills, he plans his escape...

Brian Hennigan was born and raised in Scotland, although his business career spans many industries and many countries. His fiction and drama has been broadcast on BBC Radio Four and Radio Scotland, and this novel, his debut, is currently being adapted for film by director David Mackenzie.

'Only ten pages in I was reduced to a kind of delighted, giggly hysteria ... sparky and spiky and - that very elusive thing - original. You'll be choked throughout with an almost equal mix of laughter and outrage ... Delightful'
The Observer

'Hugely entertaining ... it gets funnier and funnier'
The Scotsman

'Inventive and smart, Hennigan seduces the reader with macabre humour and unexpected twists'
The Guardian
