The Fish That Climbed a Tree

Following his savage murder in a London vicarage, Reverend Ulysses Drummond embarks on an epic odyssey in the afterlife, wrestling with his conscience and misguidedly spurning the obvious advantages of a free ticket to Paradise.

His ten-year-old son, Henry, is left to muddle through life, encountering school bullies, big-hearted benefactors and cold-blooded killers on his passage to adulthood.

Will Henry find love, success and happiness in his life - or will he suffer the cruel and agonising death that was foretold?

'Funny, frightening and touching, this audacious combination of fantasy and real-world evil is a novel like no other. Make sure you don't miss it.'
