Danny Leigh was born in 1972 and is the author of The Greatest Gift and The Monsters of Gramercy Park. He was described as 'A key writer of his generation' by Dazed & Confused. He hosts the BBC's film review show.
A dazzling tale, told with great humour, of the last seconds of a man's life as he leaps from a nine-storey building.

Viss works for the city's premier concierge service. Whatever you need,
he can provide. And he'll do it with a smile. He just wants to help -
that's all he's ever wanted to do. The Greatest Gift is the story of his downfall.
'Leigh's prose is discomforting, his free-form style a reflection of
Matthew's free-falling life, and there are echoes of Chuck 'Fight-Club'
Palahniuk ... A complex, affecting debut, suggesting the emergence of an
exciting talent.' Daily Mail
'The Greatest Gift, a withering report on the emptiness and
narcissism of the corporate world ... Leigh has steered away from the
familiar territory of the first-time novelist ... and delivered
something more distinctive. What looks like a satire on contemporary
office life becomes an allegory about loftier themes - friendship,
compulsion, identity and desire.' Daily Telegraph
