Description

'Fresh, original and absolutely brimming with energy. One of the very best crime capers I've read in a LONG time' Jonathan Whitelaw
'The protagonists' desperation for affordable housing is completely relatable for anyone who has tried to buy a house this century. This book was quick, funny, and captured the very real financial struggles of the moment' Tasha Coryell

***
All Naya and Jake want is their own home. An island in the kitchen. A wine cooler, maybe... Nothing fancy really.
With artisanal coffee shops and microbreweries popping up on every corner, prices are skyrocketing. And as Jake and Naya tour property after property, one thing becomes clear: unless they want to share their home with black mould, they need to find a way to make the market crash. And fast.
There's only one thing for it: they're going to have to take matters into their own hands. But how far are they willing to go?
The hilarious, witty, satirical crime novel from comedian Andi Osho
